http://www.darktownmanga.de/phpkit/popup.php?img=content/images/1_NightFriends.jpg Just a quick one to explain you some theory. If you'd like to practice, try to make it look like on this screenshot. If you work with Photoshop, you can take an airbrush and set its opacity to 30%. With that done, you pick the darkest and lightest colors to mark the dark and light areas and create a somewhat "floating" impression. Of course you don't need to necessarily work with that technique, but it can give so much to your artwork, especially when you use it to set highlights on your hair, to make it look more realistic and fluffy.

The gradient tool in ps could work make a mask for the area youwant and gradient it... also soft edge brush with a mask too... or selection Or maybe you could go for.. the blur tool or smudge the two together... maybe burning the shadow on are your thing.... (Photoshop...)
