so back to anime tagging. did a request. ignore the name. i still suck at typo
anyway, the guy's face seem too bright for me. If i make it darker (i tried black soft light, and burn) the face color looks really unnatural (turns to like brown). How to get around it? Unless i make the lighting brighter to compensate?
other cnc appreciated.

You have to make sure you don't destroy the brightness/contrast to begin with, otherwise you won't be able to fix it.

so do lighting before messing with brightness/contrast?

brightness contrast is really something you do at the end. yes make sure your lighting is correct and not too strong,
