[izmizcha]

Some people in the comments: *Has experience with medibang for a decent amount of years*
Me who just started today: ???

[ckiesart]

Been a traditional artist for a good few years (and still plan to continue to do it) but I wanted to know how to do digital art, so I got MediBang and lemme tell u this tutorial is SO useful and it has saved me so much time
I hate doing black lineart so the trick to coloring the lines is a HUGE help, so thank you for this video :>

[Imperfectcell]

2:40 : "Generally you don't want your correction to be over 20, or else it gets kinda finnicky and not that great"
Me who's had correction at 40 for years now: 👁👄👁

[stv]

I used medibang for almost 4+ years buts it’s nice to have a refresher every now and then

[ocean_hairuuu]

And I thought I knew everything about this app

*_until now_*

[nadaxx_]

I came to learn about medibang paint, i stayed to see kirbo

[maxthepaladin]

I've been using medibang for years, and only now I learned about the tolerance trick with paint
All this time I was filling the white spots manually xD

[shalomantony]

Tfw she draws a straight line at 0 correction 👁💦👄💦👁 amazing tutorial tho!<3

[LeeLikesToDraw]

3 words:
Amazing, underrated, helpful.

[shiroo]

this girl draws kerby really good than any of my drawing

[gigasigma]

I may not be rich and can't afford a drawing tablet, but I have a Kindle, stylus and a dream. I have used this for about a year now and this improved my experience. Thank you.

[Legobanan]

Best medibang tutorial I've seen, it has been incredibly helpful for me since I struggle to get used to digital drawing!
I've yet to get the clipping layers to work entirely as I would've liked though. I can make it so that i cant color outside the outer lines, but it can still color over things inside these lines. If I'm drawing a head for example, the coloring stops at the chin, but not at the mouth or eyes. What am I doing wrong or how could I solve this? Thanks!

[pancitcanton]

What I'm wondering about is why my "soft" eraser isn't soft at all, when I use it the outer is solid when it's supposed to erase somewhat like an airbrush.

[zuwugibunny]

I've been blindly stumbling through medibang pro for the last two months, and every single moment of this tutorial easily corrected a problem I'd been having with the software, from not realizing that my correction being up at 40 was the reason the tablet was lagging behind to the tolerance meter on the fill tool, to like. Basically everything. Thank you thank you thank you

[cosmicwatersyt]

I had been using Medibang for years and never knew half of this stuff. My jaw dropped at when you explained the Gradient Tool Bc i never understood what it was. Thank You So Much For The Tutorial!

[okay_]

This video is Amazing, I love how soothing her voice is and how she explains everything, Thank You SO MUCH FOR THIS TUTORIAL!

[gnuwaves]

keep telling myself, "one day you'll be able to draw that kirby". but today it eludes me

[queensgambitdeclined]

For everyone: I have been using medibang for 5 months. I used to have the correction at 30, then with practice, i moved it down to 20. Now it stays at 12. It gets better with practice!

[farpvehicleofromance]

I literally never knew that tolerance was a thing with the fill tool and wasted like half of my time covering the unfill spot
