Heya! Really nice to see you so set on your goal, and also mixing studies with drawing and painting from mind (which is also studying..eh you know what i mean!)
A nice way of making those characters belong in their environment is to consider the properties of the environment. Clear blue sky? mix some blue into the shadows. if the grass they're standing on is well lit the light will reflect onto the lower planes of the characters, giving them some green reflected light (such reflected light can never be brighter than the stuff that is in the actual light however.)
Well, there's some tips from me, hard trying to be helpful without spewing out too much info that may or may not sound helpful xD
Seems like you're already making progress with your values, the face of the girl in the Alice in Wonderland-ish dress looks great!
