The most advanced shading and hair I've done is this: www.gfxvoid.com/forums/showthread.php?t=63635
And that's not really what you're aiming for, so I'm afraid I can't give you any tips there. I haven't started with real vectors yet, so I know as little as you about real shading ^u^

still your shaing is correct.

get illustrator, until you do your vectors won't be nearly as good as they could be

idk why its so choppy! i used the paint tool and the gradient tool alot to fill my selections haha, its not bad for a first start!, to help with the shading, you have the right lighting, however you need to work on using your darks and lights! it needs more contrast so i can see the shading easier, i had to squint , keep it up! you have the right idea and its not bad for a start!
