Hi Amin,
Beautiful job. You've created a very sensitive drawing that is technically superb and at the same time quite emotional. No small feat.
I think that the source material ultimately proves to be it's achilles heal. The dense shadows reduce this wonderful drawing into the realm of photo realism, which means it looks like a photo. The human eye sees values differently from film in that the eye doesn't clog up the darks or bleach out the highlights.
There are ways of getting around these limitations by photographically manipulating B&W film utilizing the Zone System.
I think by makinging your values more realistic and less photographic you will take something very strong and make it that much more powerful.
Again congratulations on your great drawing.
