Just turning a colour map into greyscale is not the 'right' way to make a bump map, inverted or not; although lots of people do this, and a greyscale version of your texture might be a starting point for a bump map.

The principle of the bump map is: white bits are sticking out, black bits are depressions, and mid-grey is level. A proper bump map will be edited by hand, although I've never made one for a figure, so that's where my knowledge ends.

In the final analysis, if it works, it's right. :) You may find the link useful...
