I feel that a black and white drawing must contain a richness in value which can only be achieved by strong value contrasts. It will be helpful to think in 6 values. |

See this chart below:
In your original drawing we have predominant light gray and middle tone. However we need a darker value to create more light light. Light against dark, dark against light-these are two of the most effective means you have of riveting the viewer's attention. The value scale above - black and white with four distinct grays in between - offers a full range of values with a manageable number of different tones. |
