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.

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.

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...

I Accidentally Promised to Run a Big Tech Summit Music Stream!

The Origin Story: From Prague Summit to Virtual London Event This week, I have a couple of things scheduled that I need to do. And one of them is because I talked myself into a project that I wasn't necessarily ready for. A few years back, I played at a summit that happened in Prague. It was for the Ubuntu Summit. It's a summit that's for free and open source culture, and mainly is about the operating system Ubuntu, which is a Linux operating system. My band played there because we are Ubuntu users and we are open-source artists. They announced that they were going to be doing another one this year from London. They were going to announce the details and all this and I was like, I would like to go to London. So, I contacted them and they were kind of like, well, we're not really doing it the same way this year. And I'm like, well, what's going on? And then they finally announced that it is going to be an online streaming event that is being hosted from London...
