Your latest work is looking good Maja! btw, sent you a pm as a reply to our conversation, thought it would be easier that way.
as for the latest work, you're definitely on the right track. The figure is backlit which would create an interesting rimlight around him, as well as some interesting shadows depending on what other lightsources you decide to have in the picture. Right now you're kind of working everything evenly and within the same value-range, which makes your forms look kind of flat since you try to put everything in the same amount of light. Don't be afraid to push your values more and make the shadows darker and the lights lighter.
I can see you've started working with the light at the shoulders. You should make that light even brighter, and replace the black linework around your character with rimlight instead. It will really help the lighting.

Your figuredrawing looks good! the only thing I would comment on is that the back looks a bit stiff and that her behind could need some more softness to it. Other than that, nice! you should do more drawings :)
keep up the hard work!
