You can do it bro!!! I might take another look at your value structure, maybe consider checking the skeleton pic in grayscale more often. Right now his silhouette sorta blends into the tree behind him and the light source isn't clear.
Here's a quick PO, made some descisions you might not agree with to try and get a clearer read. Darkened the background to make him pop out and lightened up the glow under his clothes, now that under-cloak glow's the main light source and there's overcast light from the sky. The forearms show the lighting really clearly in this scheme, so you gotta nail their values! It seems like you made them brighter than they ought to be on the bottom. And I decided to give him glowy eye magics. It's a cliche, but it helps draw the eye over to his face which doesn't have much light on it.
Great job on the painting here! facial plane study's looking nice as well.
