I reccomend this tutorial to help with rendering the skin. I tried it myself following advice from the video to show how I tried to give it a more skin-like look while still reading as naturally black. The hair behind the head (under the chin) is lightened to increase depth. Do note that darker values will read as closer while lighter values read as further away. By lightening it you also mimic how it would look with the bounce light coming from the floor because even though it's pitch-black and in shadow, it loses it's depth if the value is too dark.
