Help with highlighting black

[The Shine]

Heya,

Just wanted to get some help on highlighting black. This is my problem...

What recipes do you use and how do you go about applying them? I\'ve always had this problem with black and would like to get over it now.

Thanks for your help.

It depends on the overall feel for the mini. I tend to use a blue black mix which I then mix with white for final highlight. I dont tend to highlight too high unless I want the plastic or metalic finish.

Nice gobbo btw

Jakob Neilson has some good tutorials on different ways to highlight black depending on the effecy you are after, and he knows a thing or two on painting!!

Here is his website link!
