Losiel in the dark

I'm trying a new way of drawing on top of the new way I've been sketching lately. I'm doing my best to learn how to directly color, and that's to a great artist I've spoken to who critiqued me: , I've found some ways to try just that. I did a few pictures before this one I may post. This is one of the more successful ones.

It's Losiel, except him in the dark of a moonlit forest. Seems he sees you hehe. I was going to have him smiling more with his teeth showing, it was a cute smile, but I decided to keep it with just a look. I used a reference picture of a man int he same position for the picture. What do you all think? How's the style? And what do you think he's thinking with that expression? Hehehe.

I decided to give it a bit higher contrast, the grey was too drab to me.
