And lastly an overlay layer to really bring out the warmth. This process is super fast, and a lot of people in comics are under a lot of crunch, but you can't paint white and dark skin tones the same way or its gonna look Bad.

I've found that, in order to keep the integrity of the base flat color, using a saturation layer like color dodge with dark tones works well. It's subtle, but the skin stays warm and realistic here.

Some people will try for a different blending mode, but because a lot of colorists aren't familiar with black skin they'll settle on VERY ashy final looks like this, which can also get very white. Depending on the pencils, its hard to even recognise this as black skin sometimes.
