Drop shadows on black base?
 

Hey,

Got a buddy that wants me to paint a few bodies for him. He wants the main color to be black. For any other color I know drop shadows would be black, however do you do drop shadows when it's a black base? If so what color do you use?

You could try white,purple or grey

Really any color can be used, try and use a color that complements the area that your doing the shadow for.
