Your values are off. Your darks aren't dark enough and your lights aren't light enough. Makes it look muddy.

Thanks for the feedback, a quick bump with the contrast and it actually looks like something. Thanks!

To expand a bit on this.
When drawing, especially when drawing a cast like this you need to realize that the range of value with which you can play around is much smaller than that of which you are trying to depict.
A bright bright in nature is going to be sharply reflected light, a dark dark is going to be a complete absence of light.
This means we need to cheat, we need to trick the human eye with an illusion, and the way we do this is by compressing the values. This way we can strive to at least retain the comparative relationship between areas of light and shadow
Specifically we need to compress primarily the darks.
Since the whole deal with seeing in the first place has to do with reflected light it makes sense that we would want that maximum amount of cowtools to express areas of light.
This is a good example of what I am talking about.
Notice how the shadows are a very limited range of values.
This cast is being much more sharply lit, but the point remains.
And your bright bright s still aren't bright enough.

Wow, thanks for all info! Do you know any good resources to study this? I've got Gurney's light and color but ive havent looked at it thoroughly cause i wanted to get values down before moving onto colors

If you want to learn realistic drawing in general the best book I have ever come across is The Elements of Realistic Drawing by Marina Fridman. It quite frankly explains the whole deal in the clearest way I have ever seen in only 50 pages.
It used to be freely available on her website, but you can still find it on scribd if you Google the title .pdf. just use a scribd ripping site to download it.

I took leave of my father's decrepit farmhouse in my modest guatemalan automobile. Making reasonable pace across the landscape bereft of anything resembling what i had come to know as modernity. I eventually reached the general store, a flimsy wooden structure that emitted a dark cloud of smoke from a narrow chimney. Two locals sat outside in the midday sun accomplishing nothing and seemingly content in their doing so. Their bestial stupidity, likely the result of generations of inbreeding and race mixing, was apparent both their appearance and vocabulary. My eyes were immediately drawn towards the words emblazoned above the door; these words perplexed me in such a manner that defy ordinary description. I shall not repeat them here for I fear that anyone who stumbles upon this tome will meet the same fate as I should they read them. I have not slept in weeks as I have tried an increasing desperation to decipher the true meaning of that inscription. I fear that it is pointless- the fate of this city slicker is sealed.
