Digital example: Sage-green long-bodied creature above black ground marks with a few sand-colored gaps.

1. Sage green — outlined body
2. Sand — small ground gaps

Fill the outlined body and long curved band sage green; leave the large space underneath white.
Add sand color to a few small ground gaps, preserving the solid black marks.

The long green shape, white opening and black ground marks should stay separate.
