Personally I start with a black base, then highlight with greys starting at almost black up until very light. (Amount of grey layers depends on how much time and detail I’m willing to put in).

Then add black glaze (I mix vallejo black with lahmian medium).

Make sure glaze isn’t too strong as its best to add several light glazes.

This will help fade the greys to black but keep the highlights.
