Detailed life drawing

This is drawing took about 2 hours in total.
Light was coming mostly from above and slightly infront of the person which makes for the shadows on the wall behind him. This also left the bottom of both the legs very dark.
There isn't much apparent muscular torsion mostly due to the fact that the model is in a relaxed position, but at least the shapes of the muscles are visible (mostly in the arms).
The model is in a balanced position, allmost as if he's sinking into the blanket and pillow behind him. Having both the elbows and the knees widely spread also keeps him from rolling aside. His weight is moved far back, probably even behind the bottom, keeping him stuck to the pillow.
I believe I have suceeded in recreating the models curves and shapes exept for the head. Another thing I don't like is the shading of the shirt - being plain black made it really hard to distinguish any dents and curves.
What I like however, is the shading on the legs and arms and especially the shading on the shorts and the dents that had formed on them.
