If at first you don't make your point

I don't think I got my point across. One picture is worth...

By emphasizing (lightening) the top planes and de-emphasizing (lowering) the reflected light values you can achieve a more structural head. Reflected lights are best achieved by using color changes and keeping the shadow values intact.
