Title: Need help! Shading and texture, clusters; don't know where to go from here

Attached is the image I'm working on.

I've decided for the most part how the light should hit the image, but I'm really struggling with how to apply this to a robe.  I want him wearing your standard wizard robes but I can't really visualize how that is going to look.

Could really use some insight!

An important part of picking colours you forgot is Hue-shifting, this makes especially the cloth look very bland. For clusters, try to make them as blocky as possible. You can see I tried adding a nose to his face as well, just to give him a bit more detail.
