Skyler, wouldn't that be more like... a recolor?
dylstew, I'd suggest just to go ahead trying something (I don't know any tuts out there). You have to imagine where shades are on your sprite, so you have to decide a lightsource first. Once you ahve decided where your light source should be (like at the top or the top left or whatever) try to imaging that your sprite is a 3D object and coulour the areas of that you think that they should be darker as less light reaches them... darker.
