For some reason the airbrush size isn't very big. I then tried some colour - airbrush and sparkle. MediBang Paint snaps seem to be much easier to use. But it still looks organic! You can do the same thing on MSP, but it's a little more complicated on that program. Voila! Instant speed and directional strokes with zero mistakes. You place the shape and style of snap and then just apply your pen strokes. Left, Manga Studio Pro cursor / Right, MediBang Paint cursor On MSP, there is only the circle, which makes it easy to use for fine accurate line placement. I couldn't find a way to turn off the arrow, while keeping the blob. One annoying thing was the cursor - on MDP it features both an arrow AND a circular blob, which indicates brush size. It's less of an issue for more 'cartoony' work such as this Iguana in the photo.
This is critical for me for certain very fine liner work. I felt pressure sensitivity and the finesse of the strokes were not as responsive compared to MSP. Everything also docks to one side for compactness.ĭrawing using the pen and pencil tools, I found MediBang Paint to be very good at rendering the strokes with no discernable lag or stutter. Looking at the image above, I would get rid of the Navigator, Reference and Brush Preview pallettes, freeing up a little more space. In fact, I closed a lot of the tool palettes as I don't use them. There are also halftones, comic panel frames, downloadable materials and all sorts of other extras that I don't really need or use.
The only tool I really use for nearly all my works is the basic pen tool. I haven't had time to compare like for like, and I am sure there are less tools on MBP compared to MSP but it seems to cover all of the main ones you will ever use (pen, pencil, airbrush etc). In many ways, it's like looking at a clone of Manga Studio Pro., albeit with a slightly more simplified interface. The first thing I noticed when opening up the program was just how user friendly and familiar all the palettes and navigation tools are. Manga Studio Pro (aka Clip Studio) sits at around 140MB while Painter 2015 is a whopping 800MB. It was a very small package and installs using up very little space on my system (around 130MB). The MediBang Paint website offers PC and Mac desktop versions, plus Android or iPad versions too. Surely a free program could not be as good as a paid for program?ĭownloading the correct version was very simple. He informed me that it was just as good as Manga Studio Pro but with the added bonus of it being completely free! I was skeptical that it would match my go-to program so I was curious to see how well it matched. First impressions review: MediBang Paint.Ī fellow artist recommended to me this program.
