The explanation is on the picture! If you're trying values try putting or finding a light source and shadows first, though it depends what kind of environment they're in! But don't be afraid to use darker shadows What I did is overlaying a dark color over the character and then use the eraser as a light source and then add extra things like darker shadows and lighter value • The bounce light is a 2nd light if you wanted to add more depth either it's a different color or from a different perspective That's it! Hope this helps

Artist's notes:
This is my first time trying to work in black and white. Even though my drawing is simple, I’m struggling to create depth in the values.

This is super cool <3 I think something that might help is pushing darker gray for more depth. And maybe creating more shadow with grays. Your values are also incredibly good, creating depth tho I think shadows and light would help a lot. <3
