Love the gesture and the flow of the piece!! I am not knowledgable in light sources enough to point out specific things but I think the hair and face should have some more value to them? but the body and arms with value look great!! Keep up the good work ♡

Your gesture and figure drawing skill is excellent. As for value you can block just solid 3 values at beginning studies and don't think about blending and stuffs at the beginning.
