I'm slow, but I finally finished another model... Madam Sybelle.
Painting black is really hard. I tried highlighting it with blue but it's hard to tell. The mesh came out okay, though it's hard to tell from the pics. I washed the mesh with Pale Flesh and then I drybrushed black over it. She's intentionally a bit messy as I'm going for a dirty "from the grave" look for all of my undead models.

NOT BAD AT ALL! You're coming along nicely, Amigo. Black is probably the hardest color to get a decent highlight on. For an easy, faded out black, try highlighting the base black with charcoal gray [Americana]; then wash with black, & re-highlight with the charcoal again.

Thanks for the tip. I've actually been messing a bunch with highlighting, washing, then highlighting again on different stuff. I did that with Sybelle's head because the wash came out too dark.
