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

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.
