I like the bookcases a lot, drawing that used to intimidate me, but i see the logic in it now :). I find in drawing facial expressions, i draw a super simple expression like a stick man, then try to morph the face into that simple expression. With yours, his eyes appear closed, but i cant tell what emotional state hes in. His arms in a crossed pose, maybe hes thinking, but i cant see it in his face.
Also, just like with the floating boy, dont be afraid to find a cool value pattern with that dappled light idk if thats the word, it really can add to a composition. The fairy is hard to read because of the chairs value behind her being so similar in color and value, sometimes ppl make a fairy very bright so its clear from far away what it is. Of course his collar is dark and can serve as a point of contrast.
This is where it's at right now. The thing is I'm trying to recreate a scene from the game or rather an easter egg
if you sit here for long enough he falls asleep and the fairy takes a sit on his back I think. I can't really figure out how to paint that tho I played around with lowering his head a bit but it looks like hes dead not asleep then :D I don't think I can get across the idea with just the expression alone because I'm not good enough for that so maybe changing the fairy's pose so that shes laying on his collar would be a good context clue. If shes in a more natural sleeping pose maybe that would be enough idk. I'll probably change her size and colors a bit but I still haven't thought much about that yet.
something like this
