Hi, you're a very good Artist, in sharing tips between artists, there's one thing you need to be aware of when working in Chiaroscuro technique, or in anything else; you can keep this tip in mind.
Tip: there's a rule when separating the dark/shadowy side from the light side.
"The darkest lights, are lighter, than the lightest darks."
This rule will control any value problems. 👍

I've never used a brush as a blending tool when drawing! Will have to try it. ( I hate the sound and feel of a blending stump on paper.) Gorgeous piece!

Amazing, thanks for sharing. I would love to paint like you.😊

Hi , I just want to ask, does white charcoal pencil only work with tone paper since I just tested it on office printing white paper and drew white charcoal over black charcoal area and it didn't work.
