Advice
You seem like you're working hard not to put down more charcoal/pencil than you have to to get the shadow area's right. Don't. Go get a big fat Factis eraser, put down more material then you need, then bring it back up with the eraser. I think you'll find that you get much more interesting surfaces.
Also, get a conte crayon and use the side. You're lines are really even, and by using the side of a piece of conte, you'll get better line variation.
Good luck.
