I've done a little tutorial a while back just here:   it should give you the basic idea. Essentially, you block out your colours first, then imagine what direction the light in your picture is coming from. Choose a slightly darker shade of the base colour for any area that doesn't get hit by light or that's covered/shadowed by something. Areas closer to the light (or reflective surfaces like shiny metal) will be have a slightly lighter shade than your base colour. I hope this helps!

Okay, because I usually just use black, or a darker version of whatever color the shadow's being cast on

It's entirely up to you but I recommend a darker colour. You've got the right idea anyway mostly it's just about practise and observing how shadows work in real life (though you do have to bend those rules a little sometimes, but it's best to get comfortable with those rules before breaking them!)

Nah, no bombs involved.
they'd just eat people and leave the remains for the survivors to find in bloodied stockings.

Hooray, thanks it's very close now and I've done most of my gift shopping

Actually, I can't really place any specific reason apart from because I'd only made a few in the past. I didn't have a lot of plans for them then one night I was just kept awake by ideas so I got them out of my head onto paper. I've a few more coming along soon too
