Hey. It's a good drawing. I wouldn't mess around with much value with such a short pose. You would learn way more if you articulated all the character of the shadow shapes and the exterior contour to the best of your ability. If you are going to put in any value within that period of time I would keep the shadows flat, and all one value. Also, I would just work the transition off the shadow. Like the picture I attached. There isn't anything wrong with hard bold lines. They just need to be accurate in describing and accenting the form. Just take a look at Sargent's figure drawings.
