For sure!
Most people tend to shade moving to black, like this, which is perfectly fine! But there are other methods that I prefer, like hue shifting!
What is hue shifting?
Hue shifting is changing the color as you go from light to dark. In most cases, people shade from one complimentary color to another (typically from yellow to purple), although you can change it any way you want. Hue shifting in action looks like this.
Using hue shifting adds a lot more color to a skin, and creates more interesting shading which helps imply depth.

When going to a darker color, move the color more to purple, and make it a little darker. And when making a lighter color, shift the color closer to yellow, and white.

Where to use shading.
In wrinkles, clothing folds, implying distance, and more! The further away something is, it seems a lot darker.
Lighting can also be used to show where a light source is, like where the “sun” is, a torch, a lantern, a fire, it’s limitless!

If you have any more questions, feel free to let me know.

check out knoble's old blog about skinning, it's still helpful these days. this is one of my fave art tutorials but is a lot of reading. a lot of color/shading/design improvement comes from emulation. browse thru the skins of creators you look up to/aspire to and start seeing what they do that just works. in simplest terms, what blue said is true. hat layer helps, shading will help. put darker shades where shadows would be, put highlights where the sun/light source hits

could you please give me more of an explanation about shading?

Shading is a big one! Also using the second layer. With these two together, you can do a lot of cool things! If you’d like more of an explanation, feel free to ask.

My only thought would be if theres a lot of mobs somewhere laging the game

I am not player like others, i am not making mob farms. Although when I had a lot of cows and sheep there were no lags. And i am not making redstone things, i using wireles redstone mod. But again how to launch two clients sodium and forge at the same time? AH yes i am at 1.12.2

1) I have 3060. 2) 30 mods. I think not too much. Of these, only 16 mods with content. 3) How is it possible to run two clients at the same time, Forge and OF?

seems to be tick delay. im guessing theres either a mod thats causing it, a farm that slows down stuff to oblivion or maybe even redstone.
do you have any mods that help with performance like sodium?

ya this can happen sometimes when your running a lot of mods.

fortunately there are a few different ways to fix this. 1) get a new graphics card. 2) to many mods have been downloaded so you need to start eliminating one or two until it starts working again. 3) download the Optifine mod, its a mod that's designed to enhance the visuals as well as improve performance of the game.

Thank you :) I can't afford to make them not beautiful.
