I asked about an online chart for mixing color. This is about thinking black for shading. I see the mixing grey shade thread but how about just thinking black with thinner for shading. Any good tutorials on that? Like tattooing for shading you will dilute your black with water. Anything like that for airbrush.
 
First off learn color theory and you will find hardly anyone uses black for shading.
If you want a dark shade of a color for a shadow add a bit of the color opposite on the color wheel .
Also you could have added this to you first thread instead of making a new one.
 
Do you know about transparents? Golden high flow do a transparent shading black. These are pretty common in the better AB paints.
 
Wicxked has Smoke and a lot will use their Payne's Grey as well .
