Cool! I think you could probably get the shadows darker than that. Especially if you make the pencil really sharp, then it should be more effective. The thing is the more value you use in the light, the less bright the lighting is going to feel because then the shadow and light have less contrast to each other. So on that note I would try to be more subtle with the shading used to define each muscle. You're going kinda heavy with the arms.
