thanks a lot ^^
I'm actually trying to improve my shadow tecnique myself,but since I'm a self-taught my tips may seem a bit confusing.
Anyway, I usually work with different kinds of pencils, the softer the pencil is, the darker shadow you get (in this case I used an F, an HB and a 2B).
I watch the reference pic really carefully, analysing where the light comes from and how this affects the shadows.I start with highlights and then I go on darkening the parts that require it.
For realism: many people build a grid on the reference picture, that helps them copy exactly what they see. I think it's a great method, I'm just too lazy to use it
I tend to reduce everything to basic shapes,and draw lines where eyes, nose and mouth are supposed to be. There are a lot of tutorials on deviant about that ^^
I can't tell you more, everyone develops their own method with time . Hope I've been useful, though
