About skulls etc.

What color should the preference be when you want to paint skulls? I usually use black, but it gets too dark, I've usually outline with black but then when shadows and all details is painted it seems very dark picture.

Try starting with a mid to dark grey, only use black where you actually want, like for shadows and stuff, I had the same problem as well as everything looking dirty, so I've started over-thinning and using less pressure, now I gradually build the colour up instead blasting everything in one go, this applies to anything you do, not just skulls, hope this helps.

OK, I shall try that. Maybe some drop of red or blue in the gray could be cool to make it warmer or cooler. Thanx for your response.
