Shading is the practical term for people who dont know what it really is.. when you should really be calling it "lighting". Lighting is what makes the highlights and shadows.. not just the shadows as you seem to be indicating. Dont just randomly splot down some gradients. My suggestion is to draw from real life more often, and you might learn more about how light acts and casts shadows. I'm not a huge expert on this, Spooge would probably provide a much larger insight.
