Maybe you can try autodesk sketchbook.
Usually you can undo and redo in medibang using the volume keys on your device. I discovered it years ago when I was drawing on my phone and listening to music at the same time.
And the solution to the eraser problem mentioned in the video is to choose any brush that you want to use as an eraser then select the empty square beside the 2 color squares on the top and then erase as you please :)
I was using MediBang on an iPhone and the problems are ten times worst since the screen is smaller. It feels like as if you’re were drawing by pixels and you fill them in when you draw. It doesn’t even give you the colour wheel so the colour always looks really weird as well. And also yes the lasso tool really sucks compare other apps.... I don’t really recommend it if you are drawing on an iPhone like me.
To be honest with you, I’ve seen someone draw excellent art in MS paint and the Samsung notes app. Which proves that it doesn’t matter what you use to draw on, it’s just the skill you have and the knowledge you have around the software. Just because the good professionals use a certain art software, doesn’t mean your art skills will immediately be the same as theirs. You can still draw excellent art in a low budget software. Just to let you artists know...
Fact of life is there is always someone better than you using who only uses MS Paint
KelliConan
Uhhh??? I’m just saying how skills don’t matter with whatever drawing program you use???
KelliConan
And this message is supposed to encourage artists, specifically beginners, that art programs shouldn’t matter and that they shouldn’t have to spend big bucks on professional art programs such as Photoshop, etc... I mean, they have the rights to, but just know that it’s the skills the comes into test, not the program.
Lettuce oh ok. Sorry about that.
Lettuce that’s true. It’s just that beginners need to know that other program that they might want are different and how they are different.
Me: **drawing in Medi bang paint semi realism pictures for 3 years**
Ergojosh: NEVER AGAIN!!
same 🤧
Same lol
Yeah I feel like that's a dramatic overreaction to a really versatile app heh.
same
Same here buddy :,3 im fine
As an app, Medibang sucks. On desktop, it is better and Jyundee is proof of that.
Edit: Holy Jesus, I never got this much likes before😆
FACT
Exactly the sole reason I stick to medibang is jyundee
@@usagihika just did
@@usagihika Dude, I've seen you everywhere. Stop self promoting yourself. You're being an annoyance. Earn subscribers properly, don't comment on people's comments.
Yeah I have it on my laptop
I got surprised when I read the title
For medibang paint, in the PC every brush has an option to change the settings so you can change them to how you like them.
Also you can make your own brushes which is very useful when it comes to freckles and stuff like that.
I quite like medibang but it's definitely not for everyone. I'm a beginner, broke and very patient, also I draw in my phone using my fingers, so to me a lot of things that bothered you and other professional artists don't really annoy me (like moving the layers and the lasso tool and selecting brushes, all that)
With that being said I will agree that the double tap mechanic is the actual devil and should be destroyed lmao
Get ibis paint x
@@irfanifteqarali5388 tried it, wasn't my favourite but I might give it another go in the future idk
i'm just like you, I also draw on my phone
How do you draw on your phone with your fingers!!!
@@Bella-mj5nn what, you sell your soul of course! How else?
Me, who only used Medibang in my entire life: 👀
I was gonna like this comment. But I didn't wanna ruin this moment.
Is it any good on the tablet?
Yup, I only use Medibang, it's the only one I can use because I got used to it. Works amazing on my Samsung S6 Lite.
Dude me too
Why me too....
I swear by Medibang Paint on desktop but I absolutely hate the mobile app lol
The UI is very messy compared to the desktop version
glad i wasn't the only one who got a headache from having to go thru a lot just to switch tools in medibang mobile ver. also im glad i was not alone in thinking the layout was just too cluttered and gave me a headache. medibang pc is so much better. it's less of an eyesore and is more clean. if i used medibang regularly, i would prefer the pc version for sure.
I tried to used three times thinking that maybe the it will get better.
Nope! Still confusing I've seen better free apps than tihs.
The pc version looks more like a professional drawing application 🔥
dude when he said ok boomers...
I felt that
Boomers are those born between 1946 - 1964 ... While most of the YT audience is younger people (but when checking the stats, you'd be amazed how many good old timers are around, tho not as many as on FB.... ) People keep calling boomers to just older gen-Z or older millennials...
@Ssilnah Boomers are great people, don't believe the hype.
3polygons some can be great. others are racist and rude
@@lifewithzinnah Yep, but I believe those two characteristics span across all age groups... I'm a gen x (so, a bit younger than a boomer) but I've known young lads and girls quite sexist, rude or racist with others (of every age)... Age discrimination ("ageism", if we like this kind of terms...is what actually happens when a younger one call an older person "boomer") is yet another one of the kind, nothing really new (disrespect/hate to those who are different, in a nutshell)... ;)
Boomer is a mindset
Hello Josh! :) I just saw the title and clicked fast 'cause I use Medibang too (I'm 17 and I cant afford procreate and photoshop) It sucks when it comes to graphics... But it's really better than Ibispaint, I agree. Anyway, I liked the video! Have a good day/night... and wash yo hands! :)
For y'all laughing at me cuz I can't afford procreate...
Firstly, this comment was meant for Josh. Second, in my country, you can't get a job unless you're 18 and above. And finally, I don't have a credit card to actually PAY for procreate, so yes. That's it. bye!
Really?!?! I enjoyed working in ibis paint more...
@@ergojosh maybe sometimes it comes down to personal preference. And it's great that there are others options for tools for different kinds of artists to be comfortable with if they're not with any one of them.
e r g o j o s h Medibang is too laggy and its line is too jagged, I switched to ibis cause it is more smooth which may comes from the layer function is more simple.
sANDY out of curiosity you do use an ipad right? procreate is like $10, you could easily sell a drawing or print commission for that much. If you actually would like to use procreate, photoshop is a toughy though. I traded a small watercolor painting for a $24 eyebrow pencil in high school. No ragrets
You cant afford procreate? Which is 10 dollars?
Aww, that's a shame. I have an Android tablet and MediBang is my favorite drawing app mainly because of its selection tools and layer effects.
Yeah Medibang is pretty great on android and PC imo. Sucks that it's janky on ipad
You should make some videos ✨💕
Same I have it on android and was hoping to get an iPad 😔
@Cheezit Police Thank you for the recommendation, do you have any for what to get for iPad pencil?
@@raineyartwork an alternative to the apple pencil? Try the pens that the company Adonit makes for iPads.
I can not be the only person who actually LIKES the MediBang app?? Desktop seems way too confusing. The app is just fine for people who take their time to know it. I’ve been continually learning how to use it for 4 years and I love it!
Medibang paint is better optimized for desktops. The desktop version is much nicer to you than on mobile devices. I like using it for touching up, but I don't like how it takes up drawing space 😤
I actually prefer the app, feels like the desktop version overcomplicates things.
i noticed that as well. i have medibang on my laptop and like to draw on it when my husband uses my tablet for his drawings. i like to experiment and make custom brushes
I love medibang on the iPad however I agree that is is not as intuitive as procreate but I love the brushes especially watercolor.
I did great artworks on the mobile app before purchasing
procreate
hi I’m a small CZcamsr and I’m really close to 165 subscribers, anyone wanna help?
@@usagihika Stop promoting yourself under people's comments. It's really trashy, this is the 4th time I've seen you.
Hikari Studios コピック fuck off
As a person who's using medibang paint on my phone, I literally like it.
It's not beginner friendly so I recommend you to experiment with the functions and brushes and get used to it😊
I use medibang on my phone too and at first I was hella confused on what to do and after a while it’s been comfortable so far
Im confused of all the stuff in it haha
Literally?
I really like how you "review" drawing apps because it just makes it easier to determine what app would work the best and it shows the pros and cons and how much of an effect they have when drawing. No matter how many times I've used medibang paint I've never been able to use it, it didn't have any help popups like ibis paint x so I didn't even know you could get other brushes I only found out now, I never could work out the selection tool and it was just overall hard to use. I never had the color problem that you have, I think in the top left corner of the color thing there's three little lines that take it away but I can't remember. I think I spent more time in the settings then actually drawing. Also there's an another pro of medibang paint that I don't think a lot of drawing apps have, I know ibis paint x doesn't have it and it is when your drawing doesn't save properly or something happens which makes you have to completely reopen the app it has a backup of your drawing but it doesn't backup frequently but I think you can change that in the settings.
Thank you! That is a pro I forgot to mention, the autosave is pretty helpful and doesnt intrude on the experience too much.
@@ergojosh Yeah! I found it really helpful because I would often exit out of it without saving. I've never really "gotten used to" medibang paint, it's kinda difficult to navigate and there is a lot of other things that you can use but aren't in the toolbars and you have to add them from setting, I found the best way to use the app is to mess around with the settings but still everyone's not going to have the same experience with the same drawing apps. I also don't think medibang paint has an filters/effects like ibis paint x which are helpful when creating backgrounds ect and I don't think I've ever seen a tutorial from the actual makers of medibang paint but ibis paint does. But I do think both apps have their pros and cons and it depends on what you prefer. If I messed around with medibang paint more I would probably know more about it but I've spent most of my time drawing digitally on ibis paint x. Sorry this is so long but I find the comparison of different drawing apps so interesting and I find the experiences from different people interesting. It's really nice to know your viewpoint on different drawing apps! Loved the vid! What other art app art you considering testing out/"reviewing" next?
Ergojosh: okay boomers
Me: *gasp*
No seriously his asmr voice saying boomer is absolutely everything.
Someone make a timestamp
Iggy 0:03
@@piali2190 Good.
😆😆😂😂
His okay boomer opened my ok Google
For someone who's used to using photoshop and art programs for computers, medibang's windows really allowed me to get used to working on an ipad. For some reason I feel like there are far more options that allow me control over the piece I'm working on. Plus being able to have way more than 100 layers is a plus. Tend to duplicate layers just incase I go over beyond the redo threshold.
Yes, that is pretty much the only thing I don't like about the pencil styles in large. Lookin' like a microscopic tapeworm.
But that's where custom made brushes come to play.
Regardless, Medibang Paint (in pc) is a software I'd definitely recommend for beginners if they're on a budget since it's free. You can definitely still create the same quality of art as if using Clip Studio Paint and Sai.
lmao microscopic tapeworm is exactly right
I love medibang paint. But it is your opinion so I will respect it.
I guess this is because he has used procreate before using medibang
It's crazy how I immediately found this on my recommended. This was the kind of video that I was hoping for!
“There are ads, but they stay out of your way”
That didn’t age very well.
Basically, in a recent update, ads will appear ON TOP of your canvas, it also makes the app crash and freeze constantly. In my case, I couldn’t even open a canvas, which sucks, since I’ve used this program for such a long time, but it looks like I’m gonna have to abandon it and use procreate instead.
How is procreate?
@@personwhodosentlikecheese Couldn’t get used to it and I’m gonna stick to MediBang despite its flaws, the main turnoff was the way the fill tool worked. If you fill in something with a color and then want to fill it in a different color, it changes the outlines too. That got very annoying very fast.
@@scootermcpeanuts6699did you pay for the ad free version of MediBang? How is it so far? I’m debating on whether I should buy procreate or just get MediBang paint ad free. One is obviously cheaper than the other, but I’d like to know your thoughts!
I actually used ibspanit x for a few years then moved to medibang I actually didn't like it for a while then I started getting used to it I honestly prefer it more than ibspanit x then I moved to procreate and I pretty much forgot about medibang but I still use it and I still love medibang
I hate when sponsors mention PaperLike without warning us how lousy (and expensive) the shipping actually is.
Leslie Zani but I definitely appreciate you saying it, I was considering getting one but now I’ll probably consider it more carefully
he´s peacefully angry
Him: "First it took me 19 minutes and 44 seconds to get used to the app"
me: ???
so i used the mobile ver off the app for android and most of the stuff you mentioned doesnt really happen to me. it moslty looks like an ipad thing. but overall the PC version is way better. after watching the video the ipad ver of medibang is really bad overall, even i wouldnt use it.
One of the good things about medi bang is that the ads didn’t get in the way but there is now a giant ad at the top of the screen witch you can’t remove
Medibang is flawless on Android. Idk who is the one responsible for the iOS version but it's horrible and it's interface is barely easy to work with.
Wow I had no idea the quality would vary so much between platforms
@@ergojosh Layer paint HD for Android was the original app untill medibang bought the software . Since it was originally designed for Android and to work with spen it was very good experience on mobile .
@@nlmlkadhsu1868 eeeeh I've used on an android phone and it doesn't perform the best and it's hard to use, I've also used it on other android devices but it's never really worked out I could never navigate around, it didn't work well on larger canvases, etc. But they have their pros and cons, not all apps work well with everyone.
@@Indigo_Lemon did you use a note device? It works great on all note devices.
The interface also is really good in comparison to iOS.
@@nlmlkadhsu1868 nah I didn't, although it may not always perform the best (for me) it is a lot better than ios. I don't know why companies only make apps best suited for specific types of phones like how medibang paint is best suited for android. Although I may not have the best experience with it obviously you have and others have. It definitely has it pros and cons, I have some struggles with it but my drawings end up nice but I've never "gotten used to it",if you know what I mean so I won't really use it again but it is a decent app, especially if you don't want to pay for a drawing app.
Medibang was my first drawing app and I bought procreate. Now I prefer procreate. I tried coming back to medibang and I feel like a lot of things changed or it feels different now? Medibang used to not have a lot of ads but now they do. I still prefer their stabilizer. Medibang has a bigger learning curve than procreate. Procreate took me a while to understand but medibang took me years lol.
Ibispaint x was my first and medibang was my second, I still use both but mostly medibang
I cant wait to get my ipad pro in the mail so i can try out all these apps!😆
I'm sad you and Medibang didn't get along. I like it as a free thing on my windows PC that will save quick sketches to photoshop files. Selection and filling colours is out to lunch, however. But that was a nice drawing, and I'm enjoying your channel.
Josh: MediBang! Never again
Me: cries in poor
I just love his voice makes me sleep sometimes its so satisfying and, relaxing 😍😍😍
I dont use medibang much but when i do, my default pencil brush is Fluffy Pastel, when used at a lineart size with 75% opactiy it has a great B pencil texture!

Let me introduce you to the *Transparancy "colour"*
I’ve used MediBang in both iPad and Desktop, and I must say I don’t like the iPad version of it. I don’t know why, but it just feels so confusing and difficult, I couldn’t understand it. I’m guessing it was just me, but my artworks there never saved. I remember creating a piece that took me for three hours, and closed the app for a while, and it didn’t save my work. At first, I thought it was just because the app crashed, but this continued for the rest of my works.
Honestly, I’d prefer iBis Painf X than MediBang for iPad. The only issue I had with iBis was the stabilizer. Other than that, it was fine. But Procreate is still a win.
Yo! I used Medibang always, for Windows, and it's way better than any of its mobile versions. Completely free, and as other comment I read, it has only one ad when you just open it, and is even from Medibang itself, so nothing to worry about.
I don't remember if the Android version also has those ads you had, I think not, but I haven't used that version in a while.
I just checked and it does have ads for the Android version, but nothing that really bothers.
HE DID THE OK BOOMER THING 💀💀💀💀💀 I REALLY DIDNT THINK HE'D DO IT--- DUDE I LAUGHED SO HARD SJJFDK
I like how even though I think some of your cons are nit picky and the transform icon makes perfect sense to me, i feel like you gave me a very good understanding of how the app works and whether I'd like it.
Honestly I just tried this for the first time last night and I'm kind of obsessed, it's really good for artists on a budget.

I love you and your videos!!! Thank you Ergojosh!!! ❤️❤️❤️
Hi! I love your channel and your live streams! They are really helpful and I have learned a lot from you.
Glad you like them!
I love the review. Never heard of this, but new information is good information.
I honestly don’t know if it was a personal problem or not, but I just couldn’t get the hang of MediBang when I first tried it. I think I ended up deleting it, but I really don’t remember.
same, it giving me headaches.
You made a 2 second mention at the end of the vid about the real strength of MB, which is the comic book work. You’re mostly right about its downsides, although as with anything, a lot of that goes away with extended use/practice.
My experience was the reverse of yours. I started w MB then moved to procreate. I still use MB quite a bit, for what it is good at, but procreate is by far the superior app.
U also mentioned that the review may have been more relevant if it was constrained by older gen iPads. That is really key. I’m on an iPad Air 2, so no Apple Pencil, no pressure sensitivity, no pen buttons, less ram, etc. From that perspective, MB was a great free starter app, and the jump to superior apps was not as crucial. That said, procreate STILL was a great upgrade, even without a newer gen pad+pencil.
Great video. Thanks.
The watercolour brush on this app is pretty fun to use. As a beginner. I really do like this app
I found that MediBang was more tailored to manga or comics creation, as it has many tools in that regard. Plus it has better cross platform integration (vs. Procreate only work on IPad or Mac). I usually do my manga names on my Android phone, then draft it up on my IPad, then finalize the work on PC.
The interface is better suited for computers i tried it on my android smartphone and its harder to use in the computer version you can rearrange,change the size and close windows you don't want, you can make custom brushes its way more customizable.
This is a problem i see with many cross platform apps and sites they focus on either smart device or computer use and neglect the other by locking features or not thinking about the usability.
This is why I choose a surface pro over Ipad pro or Samsung note tablet series..I perfer desktop software, its more robust and has more features and by virtue of the surface being a true PC, I have acess to any software not just google play or the app store. I just dont see the point in being limited by a tablet/ mobile OS if you can choose not to be.
You and me have a significant difference when it comes back to going back on ibisPaint X. I’ve been known for leaving the app for days and when I get back on it, it’s still on my drawing. I use an iPhone XR btw
Me watching this with mediBang paint open and not ever experiencing any of the issues hes talking about even though this video is only 4 months old 👁👄👁
Always with interesting and instructive content. You are my inspiration that I started with my CZcams channel

Great review!! Procreate all the way❤️ I am very happy to work in Procreate based on your recommendation early on.
Thank you for the Paperlike endorsement. I ordered it after watching your video.
Hope you enjoy it!
As someone with little money, it is a great starting app, and is amazing for desktop. You have to also think from the standard that a lot of other people are used to.
But, yes, it has a lot of problems as an app on the iPad or a phone.
I love medibang, I depend on it a lot. I find it very good for making comics, all the tools to make panels and speech bubbles are there among other things
Paper like actually loves you omg
I have been using Medibang on my desktop for around 4 years now , i used to use SAI but I found medibang 's features more attractive .
Also you can easily make your own brushes in medibang. The only drawback is that I couldn't find a similar "gradient " type brush like the watercolor brush in sai ( the one in medibang only blends ) but I made one which is the closest possible i could get .
Also medibang manga / comic options is a huge plus , with the tones and everything built in .
Also in medibang making brushes from a png is easy rather than downloading a file like in Sai's case .
this is just my opinion based from experience though .
the desktop version is great , i couldn't get my head around the phone version though
Llevo 2 años usando Medibang para ipad, es magnífico para hacer cómics, es cierto que no es muy intuitiva pero opciones de pinceles y materiales de dibujo tiene más que suficientes.
I used Medibang in my PC, and i Fery confused when i starting it on my iPad, so thank u for your perspective
Medibang is nice if you can't get clip studio. Medibang has some comic/manga features which is quite nice. But overall yes, procreate and clip studio are better. And yes, Medibang has a good blender tool. I hate the blender tool on procreate lol
The pencil brush, I found that I could get rid of the gaps pretty easily.
I agree. I use Medibang for cleaning scanned lineart and placing flats and basecolors on the ipad; then I go to CSP on my laptop for all the details and edits and any stuff I couldn't fix in Medibang. Sometimes I use it for sketching or simple cell-shaded pieces, but it just can't do the detailed stuff I want to do on the ipad. One thing about the eraser options: Completely right that the real eraser sucks. However, every brush can be an eraser if you change the color to transparent (the white box next to the 2 main color choices you can switch between), and that works waaay better as an alternative. What drives me insane, is not being able to select and adjust multiple layers at the same time. Not having that option really slows down my process a lot.
Yuuko D hi, since you mentioned the color picker, can you tell me if white and transparent are the same?
@@milicamilic7433 no, white is white and transparent is a literal eraser
Nadeen I see, I must have been clicking something wrong. I’ve been having a bit of a hard time learning the app but thank you so much
MediBangs best pencil tool is the leaf brush ngl
Or if you make one yourself, which is possible in the app
But with the recent update, the app is unusable with its ads
love it keep up the good work :)
For some reason some of the con doesnt happend to me, for the selection tool, the first time would be square, but after i select the lasso tool, it will stay as lasso tool even after i switch back from a brush (the icon is back to square, but when i select it will be lasso tool). I could just drag the layer without needing to hold it first. But it could be just mine tho.
As an app yeah it sucks really bad as i didn't like using it on my phone however on my desktop it feels better and honestly i can still get why people like using it as some of the cons you mention in this video do carry over to the desktop version but it's only a half of them. And i still use it for my project and i still love it
I tried lots of drawing apps and softwares, and I swear by medibang on iPad 😅
oh god THANK YOU!! I just learned from your video about double tap! Apparently I was always accidentally double tapping the pencil, and I thought my procreate is broken or the pencil or something... fuf!
Medibang was my go to app for digital painting when I was a student. It worked perfectly fine on my ancient gen 2 ipad back in 2016-2017 and I really enjoyed using it on my PC. After taking a break from digital art for a few years, I came back to medibang recently and was greeted with video ads every time I exit from the canvas. The canvas also keeps freezing on me every few stromes and I couldn't zoom in/out of my canvas unless I close the app and start again. I updated the app, updated my ipad (now I'm using the ipad pro from 2018) and restarted my ipad and the problem keeps happening. It was really frustrating so I went ahead and finally bought procreate. Now I'm having a much easier time painting. It's so sad because medibang was my holy grail back then but now the app just gives me such a hard time. I still prefer how the watercolour brush blends on medibang more than procreate blending though...
to get rid of the color picker box just click the icon for it. should work well. also to use another brush as an eraser hit the transparent box next to the foreground/background colors.
you can actually erase with the texture of the brush of your choice by selecting that block on the top left corner of the color wheel, picking the transparent block, then you can just erase with an eraser that erase like the brush youre currently using
As someone who just likes drawing weird cartoons, I love media bang. But I just got procreate and you can do realistic clouds 😳 so I’m sold lol
Love your art ❤️
and her tank top
*” s i m p “* 😂
I've been using medibang paint on PC for about 2-3 years now and it's definitely cleaner and better than the one I used on my phone. It's my primary software to use and I personally think that it's convenient and friendly for me, although it's a preference and is not for everyone. Overall, it's a great app on the PC considering that it's free!
hey josh!! some of the little things you mentioned aren’t actually the case- you can closw the color wheel tab by tapping on the colors, and the lasso tool doesnt actually go back to the default unless you press on the other lasso options :)
you could actually erase using a brush! you could choose the transparent option over the color wheel
You can made any MediBang brush as an eraser if you choose in place of a color the empty block next to it, and you can close the color block by clicking their little block with the same image next to it
The good thing about medibang is that for all the cons they are solved by using a keyboard. Yes, medibang supports keyboard shortcuts and its just like using an app on the computer. The shortcuts basically can activate anything on the screen
Ergojosh: sorry for the moving of my camera
Me: you can say that again
Indeed a man of culture ❤️❤️
I actually really like Medibang because the interface is closer to Photoshop than Procreate is... I find procreate difficult to work with because of a lot of the gesture controls that i'm not used to and i never think to use. The default brushes do suck though omg x'D
For our mac user Medibang is a savior 😭 My mac pro cannot use PS smoothly and the well known SAI is not available on MAC. Then I ran into Medibang, and MAN I'M SO GRATEFUL that it is free and easy to use with enough features. The only downside is that not enough ppl use it and it doesnt have as many brushes as SAI (which is an issue for most software that is not widely used on PC). But still, I'm so glad Medibang exist.
Idk that most artist doesn't really prefer medibang when I have been using medibang for my whole life
honestly THANK YOU! I always see people supporting Medibang and how much they love the app. honestly, as a phone app it's way too complicated and all over the place and i don't like it at all tho. maybe it's just because I'm using it on such a small surface but idk it's just a bih no for me
You should review Heavypaint for iPad :P would love to see what you do with it!
I use medibang on pc and I love it. btw you can make new customised brushes on medibang by yourself
Ha, simp.
That was some pretty fine drawing though. You’re pretty good.
You should do autodesk sketchbook next!!! It works pretty well on my iPad 💖💖
when it comes to erasing, I just pick whatever brush I'm using and change the colour to the transparent box above the colour wheel :) I don't think I've used the eraser tool even on PC with my Wacom for years
Thank you so much for this video! I got the app because of the Comic features but I had a really hard time learning simple tasks. and all tutorials were either screanshots in Japanese or not very detailed at all. Even the comic features are frustrating. I know it's free but I wish it would mask outside the panel lines automatically. You can disable the color picker if you tap on its icon but like you said the icons are not intuitive AT ALL. I also don't understand the primary and secondary color thing and if white is the same thing as transparent. Coming from just Procreate and how it handles reference layers the concept of sketch layers was also poorly explained and it took some messing around to understand the layer vs canvas thing where your fill bucket stops at limits on the current layer or any paint it finds anywhere on the canvas and how a sketch layer is designed to be ignored by the canvas setting. The gradient tool and the extra screantones and backgrounds you can download ignore this and can only fill a specific area if you use a clipping mask which I'm not a fan of (just personally find them confusing) or make a selection which is what I tend to do, otherwise they just fill the whole canvas, but you already talked about the issues with selection. Also if your canvas is not completely straight if you were rotating to draw, any shape, whether with the shape tools or selection, draws so that it's parallel with the size of the physical iPad rather than keeping orientation with your work. Lastly I was surprised when you said that the app doesn’t crash as I found it crashing frequently. Sometimes it’s not even about where the features are as much as it doesn’t make sense how the app handles certain things and their explanations and tutorials do not cover that. Everywhere else I looked everyone is praising the app so thank you for bringing to light some of these issues. It’s nice to know that other people have experienced them as well And I also hope that this additional rant can help anyone looking for information on how this app works. This is a very good review and if you are considering the app, do pay attention to some of these workflow issues as they can pile up
so idk if it's because i'm untalented or i'm dumb, but i only draw decently on Medibang, anything i do on procreate is super bad...
Thank you so much for this video. It was very helpful. : ) I like the shading on the girl. Can you tell me what paint brushes you used?
"..somebody using much professional software.."
Me: *looks at ibispaint*
I have been using medibang for months and....when you said you could ADD brushes I was shook💀 how did I not know?😭
your voice is like music to my ears
l use medibang as my primary app to draw on the ipad, and l really love it lol
I've been using medibang for 4 years and I hope I can get out of it soon enough.. Cause it's the only free decent drawing software that android provides
You have the same frustrations I have it’s I nice app for those who are adapted to using the desktop version but working on the iPad the ui is horrible
