I'm new to coloring and I know that I still have lots to learn. I tried using the Nahuku acrylic markers to cover the outline of the monster and the lamp on its head. I gave up with the blending and the shadows for the blue part since I still am lost on this. I am open to constructive criticism if you guys can share some!

I have been seeing a lot of coloring videos on Tiktok and thought that maybe I could try it as a stress relief hobby and a way to bond with my kids. My son loves pokemon so I bought this pokemon inspired colroing pages on Etsy which we colored this weekend. I am a beginner and I aspire to be as good as the people I see on Tiktok someday. I am happy to hear any suggestions and tips!
