Hey Desmond, I really like the gesture you put into this drawing, nice job. As far as your rendering goes, what I notice the most is that the values are all over the place. The best way to keep that from happening, is to focus just on the shadow, no halftones. The way we determine what is shadow, is squint. What ever looks dark when squinting, is shadow. Then, you can look for halftones that help give dimension to the shapes. I did a quick sketch to show you what I mean, I hope it helps :)

Hi. I would say your problem is with edges of the core shadow. Most of them are very hard for exp on the rib cage, arms. Most of these forms are round so shadows shouldn't go suddenly from light to very dark. Dark half tones are needed in most areas to soften the turn of the form. Hope it will help.
