Pro tip: adding black to yellow turns it kind of an olive green. If you want to darken yellow, try adding a bit of its complimentary color, purple. Something else to play around with while you're experimenting. Keep it up!
Blacks are often considered dark blues (maybe only ivory black?).
You can also go the route of glazing!
Make layers and layers with transparent yellow. Just have to let it dry (really well with oil so one or two weeks, but it's godly when well done).
I tried adding black and it was just black with the smallest about of black. I did some reading online and found adding blue was listed, so trying that, that is what I used. I'll try purple next time to see the difference.

Rules
AI Art: While we appreciate AI generated art, there are more appropriate communities to post that type of art to. Please keep posts to non-AI generated art only. This rule includes AI art that was then manually manipulated (e.g. drawing on top of something generated by AI).
NSFW Policy: Nudity and suggestive content has always been a part of art, but it may be something that some users don't wish to see or cannot view in certain circumstances (e.g. at work). If your work contains nudity or suggestive content, please mark it as NSFW. Work that contains nudity or suggestive content that is not marked as NSFW will be taken down. As long as the NSFW tag is used, we welcome nude or suggestive subject matter. If you aren't sure if your work is NSFW or not, just ask yourself, "Could I look at this at a typical office job and not get into trouble?" If you're still not sure after that, you should probably mark it as NSFW just to be on the safe side.
Spam: Please do not spam this community. Self promotion is fine if you just want people to be aware of your work, but blatant attempts at spam will result in the past being removed and possibly a ban. If you aren't sure if what you are posting is spam, please contact the moderator first.
Conduct: Be nice, and don't be a jerk. Constructive criticism is OK, but don't be mean. Encouragement is always welcomed.
