Black guy skin help.
Black guy skin help.

Custom WorkstationSo with light and warm flesh base existing, its not terribly hard to mix a generic white guy skin base. With a few sand and wood tones I have I've been able to make more olive and native american style skin tones. For the life of me I can't figure out which colors to mix to get a proper black guy skin. I'd really like to make a nice BA Barackas, Terry Crews, and also my femme fatale figures complete... But I lack the right skin tone paint. Anyone have any tips or brands they'd suggest for getting a nice mocha or mahogany skin tone?
Please wait...

EDIT: COMPLETE DURP! There he right there as one of the newest topics.
Here are three examples of (unaltered, straight from the bottle) nutmeg brown skin tone on black mini action figures that I've made from scratch in the past:
Human Female (Final Fantasy Legend II/SaGa II: Hihou Densetsu)
Yeah, I know she's dressed in a stereotypical Native American fashion, but it was my intention from the beginning for her to be black (they're all depicted as white in the game, but I get sick of looking at nothing but Caucasian characters all the time, and as "human" is a generic all-encompassing descriptor, I feel I'm justified in changing her skin color to whatever shade I want).
Afrodite (Outlaw Tennis 2)
Michael Leroi (Shadowman--one of my favorite video games of all time, which is based on the comic book of the same name)
