Problem with Opacity being lower on lower layers when drawing with brush tool

[Trym_2013]

I've been trying to learn the drawing tools on photoshop to draw my own sketches and all that shazam.

Now when im trying to make different layers for different specific parts of my sketch to make some order of things, the lower layer has a lower opacity for some reason, ive been trying to mess around with the settings but i havent found out the solution to this problem of mine



you can hopefully see an image attached to this post where it might show a bit more than what i could tell in this post, hopefully the same thing is also attached as a link here if that doesn't work.

Start by checking the brush panel for whether you have any pressure sensitivite/ fade options enabled on whatever brush you are using. Conversely, check your graphics hardware settings and driver. Inadequate GPU acceleration can have all sorts of weird side effects, including incorrect transparency handling of brushes and layers if the card isn't up to snuff.

the settings on the brush on the layers seem to be identical on both of the pages of the brush. the Processor i have is a AMD Ryzen 5 1400 quad-core processor and my graphics card is a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 (and ive recently updated my driver for the card) is my card not supported by photoshop or something? i doubt it has something to do with my ram as i have 32 gb of it

i have come to the conclusion that it might potentially be the white background of my layers overlapping the brushing of the layer underneath, although if that is the problem i do not have any idea of how to fix it without destroying my masterpiece of a sketch (i know its very simple but i used a lot of time on it as i am an utter ametour on this whole drawing part of photoshop)

thank you for your assistance Mylenium, i greatly appreciate it

Update: I used the magic eraser tool and removed the background of each layer and it seems to have worked (the reason it looked faded was because the layer above had opacy at 70% making things under it look weaker)

I thank you for all your effort of helping me Mylenium its been a very positive experience simply being on this website, thank you for being so helpfull, have a lovely day.
