Which color should I use for the beak. Bone or Black link |

Both. Paint the whole beak bone then go back and just do the tip in black. |

My parrot has a red and black beak. Looks pretty! |

Either or both. Google "styracosaurus skeleton" or "styracosaurus skull" There's evidence of all of the above on there though I like this overall interpretation:

Not bone.
I vote for chuck05's or Porkmann's interpretations. The straight bone color gives him an almost comic bucky beaver or Bugs Bunny look. For a dinosaur, you want a fearsome, rip-your-guts-out-and-stomp-on-them sort of look.

Does any creature have a bone coloured beak? |

Damn, painting dollar store dinos are fun. I've given up and attempt at reconstructive paleontology and now ask myself, 'what would the art director at Hammer Films do?' I like the black… -TV |

Why just black or bone? think about bird beaks. Perhaps it has one like a touchan! |
