YES! This is grate! I can see that you enjoyed this one. Don't fret it will come together. After you lay in the big shape values, the dead color, continue to work within that value range. As you know the values within the shadows are most always darker than in the lights. If it was not so then it would not be balanced. If the reflected light is strong in the shadow area than it can be worked as double lighting.

I mite be wrong but from what I see, the darkest areas within your shadows on the face are to dark. Look at the lightest shadow area of the forehead all your shadow area should be relatively that value. Above our right eye that is the lightest and the darkest. Even there above the eyebrow it is to dark for that area.

The right side of the face has some drawing consideration.

I hope you do not mind but I have marked the areas that I think need another look.

I hope this helps.

Wish you the best,
mischa
