Shading:
For as far as I can say with tutorials, I recommend Sneeze7's Where to Shade for when you're starting to begin the shading. After that move on to studying some other skinner's tutorials such as Leostereo's more advanced tutorials. I have uploaded some myself too, but I'm not here to advertise, I'm here to help out. Also while you're at it, check out the_soup's How Not to Shade Arms and Legs blog.
Another method I recommend using is finding skinners you like and studying the way they shade their skins. For example, I would look at where they placed their shadows and highlights on the skin and then attempt to recreate that myself on a new skin. While shading the skin I would alter the style bit by bit and merge it with other people's styles into something that I find to be a good result. If you are to upload any skin using someone else's style, I recommend asking them if it's ok first and then crediting them.
Colours: This is something that will take quite a bit of time and effort to achieve the desired results, however that goes with anything that looks good. Start out by taking a look at the_soup's Colour Tutorial as that is geared more towards beginner skinners. KnobleKnives has also made a really good colour tutorial that covers quite a range of colour related subjects, but can be aimed towards more advanced skinners, however I still recommend looking at it regardless. One last tutorial I suggest is CrashCraft66's short, but effective tutorial that falls somewhere between the previous two.
As with shading, you can study how your favourite skinners make their colours and try to follow how they shift the hues around. Though this can be quite difficult to understand. Again, if you use someone else's colours, make sure you get their permission before uploading the skin and credit them if you do. I suggest only using their colours for practice though, same with the shading styles.
That's all I can think of for now, hopefully this helps you with your skinning, which I would like to keep updated on, so...have a sub.
