There is mostly downward force on the elevator for conventially designed aircraft.

There may very briefly be upward force due to control input.


But it not something the pilot needs to worry about. Look out the window and use the control inputs you require to make the picture fit to what you want. Be that straight and level or some areobatic manover.
