Good to see those studies getting done, particularly the master studies. Keep doing those like you've been doing and you'll learn so many juicy secrets.
If I could crit the illustration you're working on, one thing I would suggest is to add some rim light coming from behind, since the magic (to me) looks like it's parting the clouds. That way the light could help her pop some more and give some more impact. I know that's kind of a cliche thing to do, but as long as you don't go overboard I think it would be fine. But I'm a rimlight addict so maybe take it with a grain of salt.
I would also suggest taking picture of you holding a stick like she is and trying to get as close as you can to that. It's kind of a tricky positioning, so it helps to get some reference here as it looks a little wonky at the moment. Keep it up!
