I'd say use a smaller brush to smooth out the area where different shadings meet.

dont use the airbrush (if you did kind of looks like you did) you also dont really want to use the blue tool much as paintings use the brush to blur; not a blending tool

you also might want to use more variety in your shading colors rather than just a darker version of a base color

^ as lemon pop said : try not to use the airbrush as much. (only if you did) I use to do this before to substitute blending but it actually gives it a strange/unpleasant effect.

I would suggest doing some lineart if you can, it would help with coloring~

Don't be afraid to do more shading with the pupils/eyes. They look a bit too light and i suggest adding a darker green to the top of it. (if that makes sense)Or just overall, try making your shading look more apparent, like for the skin. (its a bit hard to tell)
