but shadowing looks like thet were painted using brown or something like that?
What's full name of that color?

Usually shadowing is just a darker version of the color it is over. For example, if you are putting a shadow on a red background, the shadow would be a darker shade of the red. You can get into a lot of trouble using black for shadowing.

When doing shadows, if I'm not using a darker shade of the base color then I use SpazStix window tint. I love the stuff, it is very thin and I can spray it at 10 psi with my Iwata airbrush. Being able to use such a low pressure allows you to spray a very small amount of paint.
