Hi Tito
Looks like an excellent start to me. Robbie Wraith showed me a painting that he had in progress where he was using an underpainting. He said that he was always suprised by how light he needed to keep the darks/shadows of the underpainting.
I have just put a thin white wash over a too dark underpainting before the final over painting in order to let me have more luminosity in the shadows. A British old-master forger used to say this was a regular technique, I think he even had an italian name for it that escapes me. Just a thought - hope it may be helpful.
