Thanks for dropping by my sketchbook!
Your traditional work is great, I especially love your animal gestures!
Digital just takes a while to get used to because you're usually not looking at your hand when drawing - it's a bit like relearning to draw with your other hand. It can take a couple months, but don't get discouraged! Digital gestures seem like a good idea, I'd recommend doing some of those every day.
For further exercises to learn your way around the digital basics, ctrlpaint.com is a good ressource of tutorials.
I haven't seen your reference for any of the traditional paintings of course, but it does seem that you're tending to use too many saturated colours. Forget about the local colour that you know the object has and instead look closely what colours you see. For instance, if that bottle in the stillife is glass, you should see some of the table's colour shining through it. If you were working from a photo, take it into photoshop when you're done, and check the colours with the colour-picker - you might be suprised what you find!
