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.

Creating a cover for my webcomic books

Creating my webcomic book cover for print on Amazon KDP I have all the pages set up for the book and ready to go and then at the end it's like "oh right I still need to create the cover for the book!" I don't know why but this part always makes me the most anxious. Maybe it's because it's the way the book is going to be represented? It's so weird, in my books I'm telling very personal things in my webcomics themselves but the cover is the thing that is making me anxious. I mean this is gonna be what I show when I say to people, hey I created this book you should check it out!  Maybe I'm being silly I don't know?
