Take a step back and have a look at how much you wrote to justify something you just admitted was done badly.
Anything you practice becomes a habit, and if all of your sketches have intentionally bad lighting, you are just going to get really good at drawing terrible lighting.
The guy on the right is an improvement. But you shouldn't be relying on reflected light to indicate form. If your form doesn't read with nothing but 2 values, you have a problem.

Drawing out of perspective is like singing out of tune. I'll throw a shoe at you if you do it.
