First Time Trying Ibis Paint & MediBang! ✨ Testing Free Art Apps in 2024 (My Honest Opinion)

Hey!

So what is your favourite app for Android tablets?
Because I tried ibisPaint X and MediBang Paint for the first time. I am also new to making art on mobile tablets. Maybe you can give me some tips! I would really appreciate it.

Small note:
I base my impression and test on my experience with the IPad (using Procreate) and my desktop setup. I neither used one of these apps nor an Android tablet, so I am not able to make full usage of all the features.
It’s like an insight from someone who is new to digital art. I think this aspect makes this type of video pretty interesting. Just exploring things and having fun^^
It’s a learning process after all and the more you use it the more natural it feels and the better you get.

So that’s my first impression of the XPPen Magic Drawing Pad and the drawing apps! I still hope that this can be helpful to you :)

I really like the ibis paint one, the shading and the coloring is so smooth but also the hard edges add so much more detail to it, it feels more put together in comparison to the Medibang one (which is still amazing)

[KingBallergaming]

In ibisPaint there is a way to draw straight lines (and circles, squares, triangles, and other polygons) without the rulers. If you press the finger icon, you'll see a section that says "Drawing Tool". Under that there are various types of lines and shapes you can do. You can even choose whether the shapes fill themselves with the color you're using, a set color, or not at all.

I gasped when I saw one of my favorite artists on my fyp

[purikyualien]

as an ibis paint user, i was really excited to watch this video when i saw it in my recommended, especially since you're an artist i admire. but in general, i love to see other artists experiencing ibis paint for the first time. it makes me feel such joy and pride, i hope you'll use it again in the future, that is if you genuinely enjoyed it ! also, to avoid curved lines when trying to draw straight, press the "☝️" icon and increase the stabilizer.

[canex.brainrot]

as someone whos been using ibis paint on phone and medibang on pc, this is very helpful and i literally gasped, W VID!

[saiphersVT]

I'm a medibang user (on ipad)! So i don't know if everything applies to the android version ;v;

Here's a few things i know,
- there is reference window! It should be in the top right corner. (which I notice you don't have it?)
- Brushes might not get bigger than 500px but you see that square right next to the bucket tool? That's how u fill in big areas! Only downside is that it's a square shape.
- The selection tool is kinda wonky, but if you click on it again you'll get the option to customize it so you don't have to fill in the white areas.
(this can go for a few of the tools actually!)

This is my first time seeing you use ibispaint, im so happy 😭💖.

Hoping for some ibispaint realtime process 🥰

[WhiteFox]

IbisPaint woah didn’t expect that. I’ve ran out of compliments for your art, your videos simply motivate me to draw more so I could be like you :) I really envy how no matter the platform you’re still able to draw so well!

The IbisPaint one looks a lot smoother and very well blended, while the medibang one looks more textured, and in my opinion, more typical of your artstyle. But both of them look awesome :D

[hatsunemei]

The ibis paint is definitely the best, the pose and overall composition is a 10/10, also the rendering looks way better. Also the fact that you just kept going after medibang crashed is really inspiring, I would have breakdown and cried if that happened to me 😅

[MebulaStarus]

Its really satisfying to see you do a speed paint in ibispaint as it also helps me understand better on how you render, sketch and color which is helpful but it's really nice to see you use it!

[ChosenOne]

2:09 you can do pretty much exactly that if you click on the finger icon in-between the dotted box and the ruler. There's an option that says line, and it's pretty much just what you were looking for

[AlexAlex-tlur]

No matter what app kuroshiro use it's amazing. kuroshiro is able to use every app greatful!

[Nanami_Takagi]

Personally, I think both of your artwork is beautiful regardless of the apps.
I started digital art with Ibispaint but then ended up using MediBang on my desktop. So, watching you try these 2 apps out makes me glad since I can get to know how you apply your techniques in the apps I'm familiar with.
Thank you for another amazing video.
One more thing, I can feel you so bad when MediBang glitched and closed the app during the process, that happened to me before so many times. 😅 Never forget to save it every now and then.

[reigeniscrying]

I've always been a fan of medibang paint and have been using the pro version (desktop) for a few years now. seeing this video makes me wanna see how ill feel using the mobile version lol. also, this is making me wanna revisit ibis. It's been a while and I heard they added an animation feature that I wanted to try! :))

[NevaLeen]

I've been following you for a while now on Twitter and I can't really say why, but your videos and drawings always make me feel like all I need to do is pick up a pen (be it digital or physical) and create the most beautiful artworks. I haven't felt the urge to create something of my own for a long time, but you are such a huge inspiration that it tickles my lazy fingers. Very very few artists I follow trigger this feeling and I see/consume hundreds of images every day. You are one of the most unique artists I know who deserve all the positive encouragement and support a person can get. Thank you so much for the effort you put into your content ♥ And please excuse me if it sounds too cheesy, but sometimes it has to be said. Vielen Vielen Lieben Dank 💚💛💜❤💙

[hwaciaarts]

my jaw dropped i love kuro's art sm !! :3

[purikyualien]

as someone who used medibang but then stuck with ibispaint, seeing this video brought back my frustration with medibang. not to mention, the quality of when i exported a drawing on medibang was absolute garbage 😭. i do admire folks who can not only draw well but get good quality with medibang.

[lukydiamint]

Love them both, I guess I prefer the pose on Ibispaint app but all the renders are cool :)

[merrideiyaimperatrix]

I'm pretty new to your channel, but I was really happy when you got to use ibispaintx! Very encouraging for someone like me who uses it too ^^ Thank you so much for sharing your drawing journey with us! You rock✨️

[cytal]

The IbisPaint one looked the most visually appealing to me. The painting, colors, and edge control just look insane. I primarily used to use IbisPaint too, and I loved it, though CSP just has so much more to offer. You did an incredible job with all of them, and this just shows how skilled you are in your craft💖💖
