you asked for art tips so im giving you more sorry if i tagged you at the wrong time lmao
anatomy might come over time (for me atleast. i actually suck at anatomy and explaining it so uh, when sketching i usually just keep erasing and adjusting until it looks right...) i recommend searching up references and tutorials because thats what i did
i know i already explained the coloring one but this one is for blending
i dont usually blend with seperate colors and this advice depends on the art app you use. I always draw on ibis paintX so i always use a brush like the alcohol brush (both square and round) because its really good for blending and texture, other than that idk with other brushes because i love textured art. when i find more about shading without texture i'll probably edit this.
lighting is also important for coloring ; it mostly depends on where the light is coming from and where the light cant reach/is being blocked from.
It also really depends on the texture and item that you're shading, for example, in most of my drawings you see the red stripes on suns pants always have a bright red shine.
these are the only tips i could think of twin just uhh tell me in the comments if you need to know anything that i might have an answer to
