Your narrow range of value is good...except that some of the shadows in the shirt are slightly too dark at this stage.

I cannot see this closeup but be sure that you eliminate texture in an underpainting...that comes in the upper layers.

To clearly define areas of general light and general shadow and to determine composition is the main purpose in an underpainting.

Don't forget to lose some of those edges at this stage - it is a very important part of your composition.
