Summerdress by EonaPaints
Me and my "date", my plushie rat, on a meadow. I sewed that dress some years ago for myself. I love it dearly but have to sew the last sleve on it in order to wear it again his summer.
Also, the style: I tried to be more realistic, more dynamic. Liked the sketch so much that I kept it as lineart. Used blue and green in the shadows because... Ambient lighting? Is that the word?
If it's warm enough I would wear it in spring!

Glad you are trying realistic styles! Ambient lighting is usually reflected lighting. In this case you will get some reflected blue light from the sky, and green light from the grass.
But there is also another reason for blue and green in shadows. Warm light (yellow, orange, red, etc.) generally has cool shadows (blue, green, pale purple, etc.).
And the opposite is also generally true. Cool lights generally have warm shadows!
Here is a video I enjoyed from a professional artist on basics of painting, including this tip:

And here is the same artist showing more in depth explanations of ambient light:

He is my favorite go-to artist for short, but helpful painting tips!

I want to steal your date for myself, but I won't. I definitely won't.
