Dark skin also has just as many, if not MORE shading variations as white skin. It's also NOT just white skin with color. LOL. Dark skinned people nearly always have lighter palms and soles of the feet and are darker at the elbows, ankles, knees, etc. Compared to white skin, it's actually shinnier whereas white skin tends to looks more powdery than shiny. White skin is more transluscent, but dark skin does have a "glow" to it for want of a better word ;)
So long as you try to make a dark skin from a light skinned texture it will NEVER look right. Never. The texture has to be made from a dark skinned person.
