i was just wondering, is there and easier way to shade stuff in paint, than picking out the colors your self?

Er. Not really. No matter what you do, you have to choose a color, although I sometimes find it easier to make my own swatches on the image and use the eyedropper so I don't have to keep opening up the color selection.

To make a shadow or a highlight, you have to graduate the colors very gradually.

You realize Paint is not a pro system therefore there will probably be no pro results.

Microsoft paint is a basic system, it doesn't contain dodge or burn tools or opacity changing. It wont allow you to shade any easier then just picking a darker color.

I happen to do most of my art in MS Paint, and I think I might be able to help. Take a look at a couple of my pictures, and maybe you'll get an idea. This is my style, though, so you can't really expect for a picture of yours to look exactly the same...but still. Maybe this will help:
