Starting to get a better grasp on adjustment layers, tried to get the pear a little less intense w/ the lights. Any tips?

LESSON NOTES

What's in Premium?

I review student assignments to help you fix common digital painting mistakes. We focus on improving the believability of your lighting and color. You will learn how to manage your values so your characters clearly stand out from the background. I explain how certain choices can make your colors look chalky, and what to do instead to avoid this. Then I show you how to fix those overexposed areas using simple adjustment layers. We also cover how to simplify distracting fabric folds to keep the viewer focused on your main subject. You will see exactly how to use reflected light to make your characters feel grounded in their environment. These practical critiques will help you build a stronger value structure and choose better colors.

I loved it when you pulled the value of the background sky down on my assignment It made a drastic shift and made it look so much better I was experimenting and trying to half stick it to a reference but with the step back, it feels like I was trying to "force" some parts of it to match a reference without "listening" to my piece itself and what it needed Thanks !

When I watch this, I'm experiencing lots of backwards skips of about 1.5 to 2 seconds where the video acts like a scratched record. Is anyone else having this happen? Previous videos have had a slipping and video distortion that needed to be reloaded to correct. I know this isn't a huge issue, but it is distracting as it keeps happening.

On my end I had it happen just once

Hey Matthew, super late reply but in case you haven't figured it out already. The video is completely fine but I know what you're talking about with the backward skipping, it happens when the video is buffering and changing back and forth to different qualities to keep up. To fix this just turn your video quality off of 'auto' to something your wifi can handle and it'll stop doing the skips.
