Pretty good paint work for your first mini. My advice is to just keep experimenting and attempt to try different ideas. There are many threads here with very well painted minis. Look around and don't be afraid to ask questions here, as everyone here is friendly and is not hesitant to share tips and ideas.

A highlight is a final painting step used to get a depth look to a model. For the face as an example would be to add a little white to your face color and just paint the raised areas to create more of a realistic look. Paint the high areas such as his cheeks ,the tip of his nose and his brow line and that will give you a more natural look, and give it depth. The cloak you could just use a bright red or orange and paint the edges as a highlight.
