After Viewing your sketchbook on here i understand more bout what you mean by traditional stuff. The palettes from your studies are far more effective in achieving realism and mood. Sadly im broke and going into digital painting class for next 4 months -__- but afterwords ill do oil and guache studies. But for the time being im going to keep in mind the oil and traditional pallete when i move into paintings more and see if i can apply it digitally until these classes are done and i can rebuy EQ for painting.
And ill get the book and give it a read as well! ^_^b
Thank you for your time and advice on making me better.

You have all that blue and white shiny stuff on one side while the other half of the picture is empty.
That witch thing should be in the center of the composition because it is the main element here.
Unless this is for a complete book cover (front, back, etc) then could be okay since the picture will be splited into three.
But there is other problems too, the color palette, the values and anatomy of the character.
My advice is, stay away from digital painting for a while and do some traditional painting with oils or acrilics. Trust me or not, but it will help you to understand color and a bunch of other things in a little time.
Also, i recommend you to read "color and light" by James Gurney.
Maybe this helps, cheers!
