(omg...i have that SONG in my head!) i like how you went about this one - if you really want to delve into shadow/light use, go back and visit the masters. it reeeallly helps. i'm back in school these days and we've been spending lots of time "redoing" master pieces, to understand the lighting and tone. REMBRANDT, SARGENT, CARVAGGIO,and my personal, more contemporary fav, LEYENDECKER, are all masters of light and shadow. you should borrow the composition of a master work, re-populate it with your own characters and ideas, and then light it. it's hard work but verrrrry helpful in understanding all the twiddly parts about using light and shadow.
