@deanna_art: I know it feels risky to go that dark, especially early on, but I promise you it's what the piece needs. Find your light side and your dark side on a face and get that dark value correct. Once it's there you can take the light areas as bright as you'd like, there's much more room to play on that end. Full critique video is up on my YT:)
