Given that most games barely put any thought into black facial features and hair, sometimes you gotta work with what you have - which is nothing in some games. Sometimes my black characters look like white people who went wild with a tanning salon and hair relaxant.
As I got older, I realized how much this sucks. Games already are made by mostly white folks or folks of an Asian descent, and the games with human characters reflect the people who make the game. Then we get character creators and they're wack for the most part. My Shepard from Mass Effect looked like some dude who bleached his skin. It also didn't help he had the voice of Mark Meer, who was awesome despite my suspension of belief on playing as a black man being on a rickety bridge as I played through all three games.
If you've made any black characters, feel free to share them (though I do feel afraid this might open some floodgates for some offensive stuff to be posted so please don't be jerks.)
I've just started a new playthrough of Dark Souls 3. I've made a black woman and a black man, with the man being my second character. I'll say it's easier to make black characters in Dark Souls 3 than Bloodborne, specifically black women.

Just found a pic of my Commander Shepard:
