A Beginner's Guide to Medibang Paint For Webcomics

I've been creating webcomics with Medibang Paint on my Android tablet for years.

I decided to make a new video for people who have not used Medibang to show why I use it and go over some of the tools that the program has that really help my creative process.

Comic Panel Creation Tool

One of the standout features of Medibang Paint is the Comic Panel creation tool. This tool simplifies the process of setting up your comic panels, allowing you to focus more on the creative aspects rather than the technical details. With just a few clicks, you can create perfectly sized and aligned panels, saving you time and effort.

Layers Management

Layer management is another powerful feature of Medibang Paint. The ability to create multiple layers allows artists to separate different elements of their artwork, such as sketches, inks, and colors. This separation not only helps in organizing the artwork but also provides flexibility in making adjustments without affecting other parts of the drawing.

Customizable brushes

The software offers a wide range of brushes that can be adjusted to suit your specific needs. I share tips on how I customize brushes for my desired inking effect.

Exporting Finished Comic

Medibang Paint lets you export your finished comic in high-quality formats like PNG and JPEG, and let's you control the DPI of the image so it can also be used for print.

Try it yourself

Overall, Medibang Paint is a fantastic free tool for anyone looking to create webcomics. Its intuitive design, coupled with many features, makes it my favorite. If you're eager to start your own webcomic I highly recommend using Medibang Paint.

How I use one Gmail address for multiple Soundcloud accounts

Do you know the Gmail "+" trick to use one email for multiple accounts on one service? Here's a little trick I use that works for any service. I talked about this on the podcast episode I did with artist Mortimur K . In this case, let's say I used up all the uploads I have for my free Soundcloud account . With this trick, I can open a new free account and use the same Gmail address. I don't want to create another Gmail account to sign up again. Using my one Gmail address for multiple accounts on the same service I don't remember when I learned this but you can alter the name on a Gmail address. Like, let's say mine is "tom@gmail.com". To be clear that is not my email. I wish it was, but this is just a short example. Start with the original Gmail address Add a "+" after the email name Where it says "tom" on the address I can put a "+" after that. Add a "+" after the email name After that "+" I ca...

Some history about artist Alex Toth

So recently I decided I was going to try and learn something about each item in my toy collection and the artwork behind it . Kind of like my own impromptu art history class. Then I'm going to sell it so I can start collecting more! :) Moltar One of the first things I put up for sale was this Space Ghost Coast to Coast Moltar Action Figure from back in 2000. By the way, I learned a valuable lesson when shipping this item to the person who bought it. Never let the people at the post office touch your collectibles! The Space Ghost Coast to Coast show actually used the original artwork from the Hanna Barbera Space Ghost cartoon from the 1960s. Those characters were designed by Alex Toth . I knew his name but didn't really know anything else about him. Here is a sketch I did of Moltar on my phone. So I decided for my first art history lesson I would do a little bit of research on Alex Toth . he died at his drawing table on May 27, 2006, from a heart attac...

Artwork for the original Candy Land game by Milton Bradley from 1955.

I have a vintage Candy Land game from 1955 by Milton Bradley and I was about to sell it so I thought I would add it to my personal art history course concept I've been doing . I'm going to try and see if I can find out how this game was created, designed and why? Here is what I found out about this game https://candy-land.fandom.com/wiki/Candy_Land_Wiki Candy Land is a board game about children exploring a world made out of candy and other sweets that originally came out in 1949. In every version of the game, there are a group of children that go through Candy Land. In the earliest versions of the game, it was a realistically drawn boy and girl. Drawing of the Candy Land kids I did on my phone ☝ https://board-games-galore.fandom.com/wiki/Candy_Land The game was designed in 1948 by Eleanor Abbott , while she was recovering from polio in San Diego, California. It's rumored that Eleanor also did the original artwork but I didn't find anything that...

Art Inspiration: Digging on old Scooby-Doo cartoon background artwork

Can we all just take a second to appreciate the background art of the 1969 Scooby-Doo cartoons ? Easily the most inspirational artwork from my childhood right here. I think this scene from the cartoon is what inspired my recent nostalgia for the Money Island computer game I wrote about in my webcomic . Who did these background paintings? I wrote a post about the artist Walter Peregoy who did the background artwork for the series over on my pop-culture roadshow blog . Some of the things I learned about the artist He had a modernist 50s style Designed the 101 dalmatians cartoon look Was an artist for one of the Liquid Television cartoons on MTV Go here to see more...
