I would suggest never ever using pure white and black to add highlights and shadows, that makes digital paintings look very fake. Instead, for shadows, use a color of a slightly different hue, deeper saturation and lower lightness. For example, to paint a shadow on a blue object, I would use a color which is somewhere in-between deep blue and purple. Highlights are a bit more tricky, because you need to take the light source into account. What is casting light onto Nightmare Moon? Is it the golden glow of the moon? Or is it those cold bluish gas lamps in her chambers? You can paint the spots which receive the most light pure white, surround it with a bit of the color of light source, then slightly hue-shifted brighter version of the base color.

Here's a very crude demonstration of what I've been babbling about, hopefully enough to get my point across: sta.sh/018pgv9lqvp9

I wish I could also give tips specific for your software, but I'm a photoshop guy myself. Please note, that I'm entirely self-taught, far from professional. But this is how I do my stuff. Hope that helps and good luck, hope to see your digital arts become as awesome as your pencil drawings!
