First and most importantly, choose your light source - is the light coming from above? From the right? From below?
That will be your clue as to where the deepest shadow should be, the middle values, and where the highlights are. Don't be afraid to use deep black for the deepest shadow, and bright white for the highlights. And don't forget the shadow cast by your object - that's what gives it weight.
Practice shading by setting up a simple object (a ball, or box, or coffee cup) that is lighted from one side by a bright reading light. Notice where the shadows fall, and where the brightest highlights are, and everything in between - that's what makes objects 3-dimensional.

as mentioned above... contrast
and let me add... accurate shading with correct degrees and proportions helps giving a more realistic view of objects.
Good luck

use a "blending stick," a napkin, or your finger & erase where there's "High-lights" (where light reflects on the item). -along with the darks/etc.

contrast does that, try drawings something with high contrast.
