From 2007
Below are a couple examples of our goal.
From 2004
Start by opening a new image 100X100 you can always resize later.

Using your paintbrush with these settings:
Zoom in several times.  I like 7 or 8, sometimes more.

Draw this image:
This is the old way I used to shade:
Using your magic wand click inside different areas of Inchie and flood fill with a color of your choice. 

Keep selected and go to effects> 3D effects> choose cutout and use these settings:


Make sure to use a darker color and a lighter color that cordinate. Also make sure that fill with interior is checked.

Continue to flood fill each area and repeat cutout setting until you are done.

The new way I shade:
After I get my inchie filled in with the colors I like.  I keep the areas selected and grab my retouch tool (the one with the hand)  I put the settings on Lighten RBG, size 2, opacity 20, hardness 25, step 25 and density 100.
I then go over and shade the areas I would like to lighten.  Give it a try and do it your own way to see how you would like it.
