>Could you give an example of this? I get what you mean but I thought I made sure not to have excessive blacks and whites, also I used to make my paintings with too little contrast so I tried to correct that, maybe I'm going overboard?.

Yeah these paintings are too contrasting, could use more midtones and greys. Dramatic lighting and shadow is good but not if it's the whole painting. Greys elsewhere in the big picture would lead the eye more towards the few blacks and whites which you'd stick around the main figure.
