I would appreciate if you could give even a simplified explanation of how you painted the black cloaks to look so amazing!.

[Sangennaru]

Directly from Dark City1 =)

i agree, the black tones are simply great! =)

Dark City Kicks Ass!!! Thanks for the compliments and its pretty easy.Start with a good solid dark black for the first coat.Then I use p3 coal black but any charcoal black would do for the big highlights then wet blend increasing amounts of a sky blue with the charcoal building up your highlights to as far as you want.Pretty fast and it comes out good.Cant beat that Dont be afraid to be bold,contrast is what makes it work.

Thanks, I've got some guys in black suits that I need to do up, and my first attempt was far too bland.
I'll try this, thank you for answering.

Looking back at page one and comparing it to page six, you can tell your painting style has tightened up a bit, well done!
