I need help with making this lighting onto my guy here, reference to the left. Also, I’m not wanting to adjust everything in this painting to fit the lighting, so adjustments to the lighting itself is available. Thanks!

I feel like the light from the lamp is way too strong compared to the reference. If you're willing to change that, then you should tone down the brightness and get rid of that yellow colour. The light hitting your character would be orange as well and way, WAY less bright. If you want it to stay that strong, then you should lighten up those shadows. Their darkness insinuates that the area he's in is as dark, which doesn't make sense with two strong light sources. The room should have some yellow mixed up in there and it should be brighter as well. Also, the light hitting the cloth and the face is way too bright, even if the light is that strong. The only reason it would be that way is if the lamp was right up his face.
