In this case, I am pretty happy with the dark parts (the hair and tie are definitely dark enough), but there could indeed be more highlights.

I like the coloring and the slight grunge work really well with her sadness.
I personally would have cropped it higher - she looks a little smushed into the corner. Having a bit more of the background behind her head and the speech bubble would probably make it look a bit more balanced?
I really love the complementary coloring, the longer I look at it. The yellow works great against the muted purple.
