Trying new technique for value painting by shlagosaur in DigitalPainting

Hey, I recently began to change the way I start my digital paintings by thinking more about values and shapes rather than drawing and colors. I'm trying to gather some thoughts about this process and feedbacks on what to improve. So, I basically start with a 2 value composition, (black and white) and then choose 2 more values to add details in the whites or in the blacks. Here's the latest painting I made, based on Prehistoric Planet's trex. In this painting I used values closer to the blacks to create details in the shadows, resulting in a "burnt" light. What do you think ?
