My favorite method:

Basecoat them brown (your choice which, but a reasonably dark one like Bestial or Scorched works for me)

Then paint over it with Bleached Bone, leaving only a little bit of brown in the darkest recesses.

Then wash the whole thing with a brown wash or ink. Devlan Miracle (mud) is probably your best bet here, although Gryphonne Sepia is worth a try to see which you like best.

Then highlight the higher/raised areas of the robes again with Bleached Bone, leaving the darker washed areas more intact in every fold and lowered area.

Then mix Bleached 50/50 with Skull White and highlight just the very highest areas; the very edge of the folks, point of the knee, etc.

Be sure to post some pictures to let us see how they come out!

Cool! Definitely post pictures!

Nice!

Looking pretty good, from what I can see!

Might want to work on the photos a little, though:
