Shading. Some help would... well, be helpful.

So here's how I do my shading these days.
First, I get the picture coloured, one colour per layer.
Then I create a new layer for shading. I use solid black on that layer until I'm satisfied with the shading, and then I reduce the opacity on that layer until it looks right. I do the same for highlighting on a new layer, but with white instead of black.
What I was thinking was to use multiple layers for shading and highlighting, and do what I described above, but only add more to the parts where I want it to be darker. Would something like that work?
Thanks for any help anyone can provide. : 3
