Native American value study

"Young Brave" (oil, 8x6in) is my entry to this week's Daily Paintworks Challenge, The Value Challenge. The point was to have a dominant value (light, medium or dark), a lesser amount of another value, and just a 'dash' of the third. My 'dash' is the light, or course, but I feel like my medium and dark are about equal -- It was tough; I got involved with the portrait and forgot all about the value proportion!
