Can I just give you a little tip? One of the major rules in shading/coloring skin never use black. The shadow might look black but it is not. Try mixing indigo blue with a touch of violet. Any dark colors (besides black) should do. The main reason for this is because black is not an organic color, skin is organic.

I originally intended for it to be all in black and white, but couldn't resist the temptation of the pretty colours. razz
