Darken, as in adding shadow? There are multiple ways to go about it, but maybe instead of a low-opacity black brush, you could try the Burn tool. Play around with the settings on it, you can achieve the same effect.

This is a very good tutorial though!!

Cosmic:
I didn’t forget the hair. It’s supposed to be white, and good hair shading was beyond the scope of this simple tutorial.

Uhhhh:
That’s a good question, but also a little-bit out of the scope of this tutorial. Usually when I color blacks, I make a selection of the outline layer (CTRL + Click layer), make a new layer, and then apply a mask. After that, I use really dark greys, or maybe white with a very low opacity, to start drawing in folds or anything else on top of the black.

so using this how can you change the base black colors? For example the characters shirt is black after the RGB manipulation. How could you color the shirt, or any black parts for that matter, without adding a layer above layer0/outline layer?
