LESSON NOTES
What's in Premium?
I'll walk you through real student assignments to show you how to use adjustment layers to fix common coloring mistakes. We'll look at how to take a grayscale painting and make the colors feel natural instead of flat or colorized. I'll show you how to use Gradient Maps, Levels, and Color Balance to create clear temperature shifts between your lights and shadows. You'll also see how to fix contrast issues, avoid pure digital black, and use layer masks to target specific areas like skin tones or clothing. These are subtle tweaks, but stacking them together makes a massive difference in harmonizing your final piece.

In this lesson, I'll be reviewing your Adjustment Layers submissions and giving feedback how they could be improved.
Hello,
Kinda struggled with colors. I went pretty happy with my values but then colors were very hard to applicate
Man, watching you work is a treat for the eyes
I feel like I unlock truths of the universe everytime I learn things from you hahahaha
Thanks Jon :-)
Thank you so much for the critique! I haven't really used the curves adjustment layer much in the past, but seeing it applied to the different color ranges was really neat, I'll definitely test that out on future artwork. I notice I almost always have an issue with my shadows being too saturated on my paintings, so the color range selection tool will be very helpful for keeping that in check going forward. Thanks again for another great lesson!
It surprised me to see how layer filters changed drawings so much when they were combined together. Thank you for the informative critique!
