Eyelights
Tito,
This looks like a masterful and accomplished grisaille. As this is not a method I use, I will leave comments about it to others that do.
However, the first thing that struck me was the intensity of the light in the eyes. It is so strong that it completely detracts from the very sensitive modeling. Check your model or reference and you will see the the eyelight in overhead lighting is extremely subtle or not visible at all. Also, the closest eyelight is usually stronger than the one further back.
Sincerely,
