In this next one, this is the first actual assignment which deals with pen control. This was before I had actually gotten to that point of the video which explained a bit of what you were supposed to be learning from it I believe, but it was a bit difficult as I’d never done it before.
For the last brush with all the repeated circles, I wasn’t sure how to replicate that, and I’d probably have to go through the video again to grasp it, but it’s just the beginning , so I won’t be harsh on myself about it.

I completed the second assignment just yesterday (12/19) and because I am working on an iPad instead of having a computer with the full photoshop available to me, I had to really figure out how to use the tools to do anything haha! The interface is very different and simplified for the iPad (and less intimidating to me).

Combining everything I learned on the fourth section gave me trouble (and the second section tbh), and at this point, I still don’t understand how to achieve the desired colors like in the photo after over an hour or so of going back and fourth between CB/H&S/Levels/Curves over and over. I will say this assignment made me think A LOT about colors. It was also fun albeit frustrating.
