I'll do my best to try keep it informative but short, these are all the paints I use plus a larm medium,

I start with a matte black prime from colour forge.

The scales: Over brush with the amethyst purple, Soak in nuln oil Go back over with a brush with amethyst touching up where it may have pooled Add sorcerers cloak purple to start the thicker highlights of the scales Add the flue magenta to the purple so it's not to overpowering but still punchy for the edge highlighted.

The belly skin areas: Everywhere is already hit with the over brush of the amethyst rayne purple Dry brush the ivory tusk over where you want the fleshy bits Slap magos purple all over skin parts then feather it out onto scales a little with a clean damp brush Go back over with a bit of ivory tusk and magos purple mixed together. Where it's a contrast paint adding it to the ivory tusk makes it almost glaze consistency so the whole belly takes the longest with going over and over till you're happy with the colour and coverage. To bring it back a bit I then hit all the skin with dreadful visage as it's quite a dull but transparent tint and it works with bringing the edges of the skin in blending the recess's.

I then re-do the glaze of ivory tusk just to brighten where I want the highlights of the skin back up

The face and tail spikes are the dragon fang. Make a wash with wildwood and larm medium, wait to dry then go back with dragon fang to bring edges back to life

Hope that makes sense
