Animation Shading Styles

Description

I wanted one in the middle of hard and soft and the grainy airbrush seems to look the nicest to me.
My main objective with shading in animation is to make the character blend/match with the background and to give more a sense of him being 3D. I know lots of popular 2D animation has no shading at all like much of Disney but I can't go without it.
I've used the lighting and shading thing before in an animation with Korrosz that has a turquoise background and I wanted to replicate that for this. I pick the darkest shade from the background and the colour of the light source for shading.
I used a smaller canvas so on the HD sized canvas I usually use the line work will look much thinner and make it look better overall.
