haha well my inks are kind hard to mix but I usually even in my digital painting use a more saturated darker color for skin which tends to shift towards purple so I just applied that knowledge when painting the shadow. Using black to darken the skin tone makes the skin look muddy so i tend to stay away from adding in black ink

The sketches look great. I like the cat, moth/monarch man, demon, and anatomy studies. I also like the worm's eye perspective of the woman. and the foreshortening.
