How can I add more detail and realism to my totem pole coloring?

What should I pay attention to while coloring a totem pole?
Pay attention to each distinct figure on the pole. They often represent animals, people, or mythical creatures, and each has its own significance. Each figure is usually in a different posture and may interact with the figures above and below it, so take care to highlight these unique characteristics.
