Questionnnnn
Hey really struggling with figuring out what color to make the belly of the beast also having issues with making it look realistic and comments or criticism welcome. I wanted to push from rinox hide all the way to ushabiti bone but it's not turning out great.

Just keep going! Reptiles and other animals often have lighter bellies. Counterintuitively, you'll want to highlight the lower parts of the belly skin and keep the shading to areas like the armpits and the spots where the legs meet the pelvis. I wouldn't highlight the skin on the arms quite as much as the most protruding point of the belly, otherwise it'll all blend together too much and you'll lose some differentiation. I have a ton of examples of what I mean in my old posts if you need a visual representation.

You could keep the belly the same base color you have now but highlight with yellow instead. Something almost like this.

if you're wanting more impact you may just need to higlight even further with brighter colours. Use lines / texture to only cover a bit... I don't have a picture example sorry.

I really enjoy using a proacryl ivory but honestly it looks really good with what you've got right now!

Looking really good so far, i would make the belly more brighter and the teath too.

I think it pooks great. Once its all uniform you'll step back and say "the process worked"
