to give the icon more shadow with an Opitonal step:
Lighten, opacity: 24% by:????
Soft Light, I usually use it to darken the some parts of the icons like the hair or the dresses .. you make your own...
and the last part & my FAVORITE one but not nessery .. the Variation tool I usually play with it until I got something I like .. I here I used More Cyan and played with the Opacity.. and got this one...
I always leave the sharpen part to the end .. so go to your basic and duplicate it and sharpen it .. play with the opacity anf fill if it gets oversharpend ..
