Depends on what kind of tutorial you're looking for, if you want to learn how to put shadows on the picture most of them will mainly tell you to keep light source in mind ;) There is quite a lot of tutorials for light/shadow on internet, if you want some in-depth informations:

Of course on chibis you add less details and shading/light doesn't need to be exposed and as detailed as on realistic stuff.
This one ain't bad since it focuses on cartoon drawing:

Light and shadows on face (I'd consider this one most useful for basic chibi/knuffel drawing):
