Just a comparison my most recent way of shading and my usual way.
The new version has everything the old one has, and it includes lens-flares, new layer of darker shadows, a layer of light hitting the subject, a new layer of different colored shadows to help the subject not look like a plastic doll but more like an organic being (your skin is a bit transparent so it's not the same exact color throughout, I wanted to capture that). And I also started adding a subtle noise filter.
The noise filter and lens-flare is my attempt at making it look more like a photo taken by a camera rather than the art looking like a flat digital drawing.

I already use color balance, most of my stuff has a yellowish/orange look to them as a result, tho I'm trying to break away from that color tho xD
And yes, I started drawing with cel shading and even messed around with it recently: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/31695695/ http://www.furaffinity.net/view/31774800/ but I prefer the soft shading look a lot more.

Perhaps try to shift shades into blue, mid tones to yellow and highlights to red? Atmospheric perspective and that,
Soft shading can be...difficult to get defined values with. Take an image and remove the saturation of colour from it. That'll make it grey scale. If you can still see the image then it has good shading, if not then looking into values may help you.#
Good luck! <3
