Hello
nice lines on this piece, I like the simple way you've approached it. I don't think the neck is too dark, in fact you could push the values a little bit more, especially on the face and hair and then reassess the neck and you might have to go a bit darker (also try using a dark purple instead of brown).
A good rule of thumb is to squint and think about where your light source is hitting the face like the forehead, the nose, top of the eyebrow and cheek, make those bits a bit brighter, that along with the darker shadows will help make it 'pop'. I hope that helps. :)
