a gradient is when you have shading that gets darker gradually, like what you have at the bottom.
unless the character is really rounded at the bottom, you should take that off. (and even if it is rounded it should be improved upon, use less shades; restrict yourself before you use too many different colors.)
know where your light source is and then add a little bit of shading to show the shape of the character. I'd suggest putting some under the hair, since that's obviously going to leave a shadow if the source is from the top or the side.
