I suggest you work on a grey background to help yourself be more aware of the value of your character.

How does working on a grey background help someone be more aware of values?

Because the grey background act as a mid value by itself and you only have to deal with the shadow and the light.People tend to focus heavly on mid value and light and they tend to avoid the darker value because in traditional it can be hard to erase them down once there on the paper it why people tend to not push there value or forget to push them.Sometime this problem follow them even after transitioning from a traditional medium to a digital medium.

Thumbnail exercises
RE: Zodd Sketchbook - darktiste - 07-08-2019
What is fun with thumbnail is you only need 2 layer.One you fill with a 50% gray and an other where you add your dark.
So how do you add highlight i heard you say you simply erase from the 50% gray layers
Voila you have a simply 2 layers and 3 value simple process.Just sharing in case this might help you or anyone reading in the future.
I suggest a few thumbnail study where you take a few master and try to simplify there value between 3 to 5 value.I think it will help train your eye to see difference in value and also it will help you be more aware of the importance of contrast in illustration.
