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

[@PizzarTou]

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)

[@kurohshiro]

Aw thanks for sharing your thoughts with me! I really didn't expect this since I was so much quicker with medi bang paint..maybe that's the point. Ibis paint was so new to me and different from what I used to that it required a different way of working :)

[@yohi9824]

@@kurohshiro can you do more content on ibis paint pleasee!!! I really love your art but its hard to do your style in ibis paint

[@KingBaller06gaming]

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.

[@kurohshiro]

Ohh now I get it! Okay this makes actually a lot of sense. I made it work the complicated way but that's actually a good point. I will definitely try this next time. Thanks for your comment 🙇‍♂️

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.

[@kurohshiro]

I thanks! Testing new art apps is always so exciting and I definitely love a lot of features ibis paints offers. I think the curved lines were a bug since they only occurred at a certain part of the canvas at a certain zoom level. I appreciate your feedback though!

[@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!

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!)

[@Happyshalalalala]

This is my first time seeing you use ibispaint, im so happy 😭💖. Hoping for some ibispaint realtime process 🥰

[@kurohshiro]

God a real time video would be 20h of footage haha but I will think of something like that.i definitely want to make more art in ibis paint and share my process with you :)

[@WhiteFox508]

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

[@kurohshiro]

That's such an encouraging comment! Thank you so much for letting me know ☺️ actually I think the same.the medi bang paint one is closer to my usual art but I am happy with both outcomes and the ibis paint one thought me a lot of things :)

[@hatsunemei3106]

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 😅

[@kurohshiro]

I was close to break down ngl this was kinda frustrating but luckily it made a somewhat decent back up file ^^'

[@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!

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! :))

[@nanamitakagi2702]

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.

[@kurohshiro]

Omg the crash was so frustrating but luckily it made a lot of recovery files which is nice. Csp does the same but it really slows down my laptop. The desktop version of medi bang is actually pretty good! I like the classical layout and interface and ofc you can use shortcuts. Sadly the app for mobile devices isn't that intuitive ^^'

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

[@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 💚💛💜❤💙

[@kurohshiro]

Oh wow Dankeschön! This makes me absolutely happy to hear. Being able to provide helpful and motivating content and encouraging others to pick up a pen is all I want to achieve with my videos! I love this idea of motivating each other and being creative side by side like this. Thanks a lot for letting me know ☺️

[@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.

[@kurohshiro]

Yeah lol but I appreciate people who are able to make clean art with a tablet or iPad. Or even phone. What the heck is that magic haha

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💖💖

[@kurohshiro]

Oh gosh thanks for this wonderful and encouraging comment! I do agree! The ibis paint one is more thoughtful when it comes to rendering I guess. But true, clip studio has so much more to offer. In general a setup with a computer makes a huge difference but for a mobile version ibis paint is one of the best 😌

[@LvH_Toon_studio]

i find the ibis paints colouring more eye catching.

[@kurohshiro]

Thanks for letting me know! It honestly was a bit easier in Ibis Paint

[@vd8589]

I want to say the same...but I am Ibis user through and through..so I am biased..but also the colouring on the other ones meaning the skin is more whitey but on the Ibis one it is more reddish and more saturated... that's why it was more eye catching I think

[@Momoki_0-0]

​​@@kurohshiro In my experience i think ibis is more simple and suitable for mobile users, the UI is understandable and easy to learn. Csp instead is great in PC, it has a lot of features and is a great art program for artists who have been in the industry for quite a time, if you are a newbie I recommend something simpler like medibang or krita.

[@shinazuma]

@hiroI find it much easier. and the new interface give u more space to work with. it just my preference

[@Tojiro1106]

I agree with you, ibis got so much easier when it comes for beginner, its really easy to find a tool. Anyway, i really like both of them, they all looks amazing!!!

[@kurohshiro]

I agree! Getting into it feels so much more streamline and easier. That's what makes a good app. The app can be good af but when it's just not intuitive to use you never will get to the point where you can actually make full use of it which is sad.

[@alwaysprocrastinating]

Lmao help I am at school while watching your vids 😭😭😭

[@vd8589]

For Ibis paint x you don't need to select everything pice by piece... You can go to setting and turn off gap recognition so it only selects the line area and doesn't assume different parts of the canvas... Also I don't know if you meant the clipping mask... But you can find the clipping mask on the layer menu.. Lower side, near the alpha lock button.... That arrow will clip your current layer to the layer below it.... And for a not too hard and not too soft brush... Try using the "Pen (fade)" brush on lower opacity

[@k4t161]

Uh oh underrated opinion, as much as I think ibis is definitely the superior program, I absolutely 100% prefer the final medibang piece. As an experienced artist myself, I have both objective and subjective thoughts on it. (This isn't critique btw just further explaining my adoration.) I'm personally biased towards rougher or sharper rendering compared to smooth, because it's similar to what I do and I don't get to see it a lot. And I believe people who do it so well deserve so much respect! And in terms of color, in my opinion, it pops out more due to the distinct contrasts, the pop of warm colors against the pale skin is one of my favorite stylistic choices. That and seeing distinct borders of color and shading make it appear more intricate, giving the impression that they are carefully placed to balance everything. As opposed to constant smooth blending that there is little room for error as it'd be barely noticeable after mixing (This is my own preference btw, no offense given!). The choreography of the hands are very dynamic and it portrays mystery, as it covers half the face. I always love it when hands are positioned near the face, since that's the sole thing people automatically look at in an artwork, hence the nicely drawn hands were also given spotlight! Anyways, didn't mean to yap, blame my adhd, but sincerely- job well done!!! ❤

[@kurohshiro]

Oh wow thanks for your indepth explanation on that! I actually think the same. While I like the pose more in the ibis paint side I wasn't able to achieve the sharper look of my rendering over there because either the brushes were too sharp or blend everything together. The rendering was easier in medi bang for this reason. I really need to take a look at ibis paints brushes again and find the right ones or make more custom ones :) Thanks for letting me know! :)

[@k4t161]

@@kurohshiro Oh my you actually took the time to read my ancient scroll of a comment, but I’m happy to know you hold similar preferences! To be completely honest, I rarely use ibis since I work mainly on pc. For a free app it has a lot of functions but easy-use design. Though I have my own gripes with it (mainly pen pressure), and I definitely agree rendering in it is rather taxing. Overall, you certainly made it look great! ^0^

[@elisafaleschini2404]

7:18 okk, then I have 2 pieces of knowledge about the bucket tool and the magic wand that might be for you! :D - To make the bucket tool and the selection tool work more smoothly, you need to turn off the thing called "gap recognition". - To fill the entire color base layer, you don't need to turn off your lineart! Click on the ⚙️ of the bucket, and then, in the reference layer section, select "current layer". This also applies to the magic wand. I hope that these will help you! ^^

[@psymike]

My favorite was the one made in Ibispaint! But maybe I am a little biased, since that's the app I use too lol. All drawings look really good regardless

[@1010_Rifa]

For the first timer... you are amazing, I like both results since they have slightly different poses ❤️ I love how you use the color, and doing soft-hard edge manually, kinda, that's very informative. I'm a medibang user, because... it's friendly for my limited device. What brushes are you using here? I noticed mapping pen, air brush soft, watercolor... I usually only use pen, pen sharp, watercolor, airbrush, those are all Medibang can make your drawing clean really, but I need texture too 😢 it's kinda difficult to make the background (wall), looks flat And yeah I kinda clean the surface manually. There is a setting for expansion, I only use it 1 px cause my line art is uneven and clean the rest Right, for selection tool, I usually make sure the line art closing the gap, at least the outer part, so you can just select on the outside of character with magic wand and inverse it Sorry for the long comment and thank you for the video

[@GuranPurin]

This may seem like a small thing but I actually think it's really impressive to be able to draw in your style in multiple different types of drawing programs! I typically draw in Clip Studio, and I think I've become so used to using it that my quality in being able to draw in something like Photoshop just falls off completely to the point that I struggle to even draw straight lines, much less something that resembles my usual style. I don't know why I'm so bad at adapting to other programs, so this video was really motivating! I like all three of the final illustrations 😊If I had to pick one, I think I lean towards the Ibis Paint because the colors somehow look a little more vibrant and I'm really drawn to it. But I really like the pose for Medibang, too!

[@kurohshiro]

Aw thanks for letting me know your thoughts^^ Yeah, I usually don't do this, having to work with multiple programs isn't necessary at all when you have one you really enjoy working. And I agree, other programs can have influence on the style. i noticed this when I switched from Sai to CSP. But it's just a matter of time to adapt to the new tools and sooner or later your style comes through because you have to find ways to make it work for you :) I wish you all the best^^

[@basmahassan865]

You did really well using ipis paint x. You used the brushes right you know how to use the technics. You knew how to adapt with it. Not all artists try the brushes before they start. They just draw that's why some of them struggles and thinks that digital art is hard. For me I'm using ipis paint for 5 years and I still don't know how to make it like your style. Like I want to draw in your style so bad but I don't know how. You did awesome job. Your video is great as always. I enjoyed it so much😂💖🎀✨️

[@losj3020]

as someone who had tried both I'd recommend Ibis to anyone more inclined to draw on tablets, where they'd usually "upgrade" to more minimal interface app like Procreate, while I'd say Medibang is more for someone who plans to use desktop in the future. It would be easier to make a jump like Medibang mobile ver to Medibang desktop ver to more robust programs like CSP, Photoshop, or Illustrator (a jump I made personally). And even if they don't plan to "upgrade", it's still good on its own. It has more or less the same tools as paid programs, albeit the barebone version of it, so it'd be a good way to ease someone into digital art on desktop :]

[@kurohshiro]

I agree with you on that! Even though I think the desktop version of Medi Bang is way better than its mobile version. And I think you can adapt to 2 sorts of mediums, so I love to use apps which are tailored towards a mobile device like Procreate or Ibis Paint. But you're right, it might be easier to make the jump to other programs.

Hi! I use Medibang paint and I like it more than Ibis Paint. I used both but for me Medibang is more intuitive to use than Ibis but this can be because I am more used to one than the other. About when it crashes... God, it is so frustrating and the last backup can be ten minutes ago ;A; I think it happens on mobile devices but didn't happen to me on the computer. I would like to try Ibis but I feel the canvas has low resolution and I always forget where the options are. Anyways, thanks for the video and waos your art style is so good ꒰⁠⑅⁠ᵕ⁠༚⁠ᵕ⁠꒱⁠˖⁠♡

I like to use infinite painter(can be use for complete work) and concepts app(mainly for sketches).

[@jeicee2540]

i like the ibis one >

[@Lucky9Ge]

I swear I love your drawings so much!! Could you try this with procreate too next time??

[@kurohshiro]

Thank you TwT Yeah, that's on my list for a long time. I start to feel more confident with drawing on mobile tablets now so hopefully I can do this :)

[@Rinnchu]

I really love your arts! 🥰🥰🥰

[@kurohshiro]

Aw thank you!

[@avi-els]

please try krita also 🙏

[@canex.brainrot]

theres a reference function in medibang! u can open it in tools and the window will pop up, on mobile/pad tho it might be different

[@kurohshiro]

Ohh OK! That's wonderful ^^ I heard someone say "when you ask if medi bang paint has this feature it usually has it but it's hidden somewhere" so I guess I just want able to find it but that's handy to know! Thank you :)

[@canex.brainrot]

@@kurohshiro that person is completely correct can confirm 😅😂

[@Lhasa-k9t]

Can you make a tutorial on how to coloring like you done in ibispaint?

[@someonerandom3609]

Ibis paint is the closest thing to clip studio paint and so I got used to it fairly quick and the stabilizer is really good. Color wise I either used water color, airbrush or make a custom brush

[@emiamoe]

I LOVE ibis paint because it was the first app I used to attempt drawing digitally, and I never really had any problems with it. What's upsetting is that there's a 1 hour usage limit on pc T-T

[@Honeaiy]

NEED💥MORE 💥HANDCAMS💥

[@kurohshiro]

Will work on this

[@azo0l_]

Hi I loved your art so much! I will be using this drawing as reference for my new drawing, but dont worry I wont post it as its only study:D… Can I also ask what is that static effect thing that you used at the end of your drawing in Ibispaint?☺️

[@m00ncatch3r]

Hello🤗 in ibis app, may i know how you tuned your brush to make it seem like ink-ish and darkened? I noticed the default one for mechanical pencil and pencil 2 is very blurry and grey-ish. But your brush looks really pretty 😍😍😍

[@meltypapyrus]

Personally i like ibispaint for the drawing line art/sketching and easy layout but medibang for the coloring.

[@cloudbread809]

I've been looking forward to you drawing on Ibispaint X😭

[@kurohshiro]

I will use this app again for sure! :)

[@UrLocalMultiStan1]

drop a tutorial on your hands pleaseeeeeee It's so good! I personally prefer using procreate. It's not really the best comparison since you drew in Procreate in 2021 and on Ibis Paint + Medibang in 2024. Will say that while procreate may seem like it has less features overall, compared to ibis paint, it's a much more relaxing drawing experience. Ibis has a lot of features, but the brush quality is actually pretty low. Plus, you can't really create your own brushes. Your art was best on ibis paint, tho I'm biased because eye contact is hot ngl. The colors also pop more. On ibis paint, there's a selection layer that's actually pretty useful and similar to csp selection tool. ibis and clip studio are pretty damn similar, but the difference between them is also pretty clear cuz ibis pain just overwhelms you with features.

[@kurohshiro]

Hands. Noticed! Thanks for the suggestion :) I agree with you. And I think Procreate has so much depth it's just hidden behind clever gestures and a superb interface and user experience. So I really appreciate this workflow. Sure IbisPaint is great for Webtoons, Comics, Manga illustrations etc. but it's so packed with features which make me feel a bit lost. Nevertheless once I get used to apps I can make them work somehow^^ Thanks for the advice! I have to take a closer look at the selection tool again^^

[@UrLocalMultiStan1]

​@@kurohshiroI'm so happy you liked my suggestion! On that note, do you have any Spotify or YT playlist for all the music you use in your videos? They're just so calming and melodious, I love them.

[@fi6644]

Either way, your drawing was great 👌💓I draw on Ibis Paint using my finger too Haha 👌😭

[@allen2646]

procreate next! i’ve been trying to draw with it but my brushes just never feel right, i’d love to see your process there.

[@kurohshiro]

Honestly? Same. I still haven't figured out what brushes suit my style and everything I tried felt weird. I have to work on this but I want to make a Procreate video for sure one day :)

[@allen2646]

@@kurohshiro thank you soo much! i’ve tried to create a brush similar to yours on clip studio. If possible, could you do a tutorial on how to draw eyes?

[@zeo4413]

I love your hands

[@kurohshiro]

Haha thanks a lot 😅

[@anapple6912]

are you going to make a part 2?, not sure if you used it or know about it but in "filters" there is a noise feature, a gradient (which is locked behind premium), a posterize and much more

[@kurohshiro]

This was my first impression and after this I can tell that I would love to make more Art with Ibis Paint and explore more of its features^^ So i hope to make a part 2^^ Thanks for your comment! I hope to make use of the features :)

[@eilsxx]

Ibis is probably the only usable program for non-ios tablets. I have samsung and xiaomi tablets, they have pretty good styluses, and yet I still couldn’t get used to the pressure. The lines end too abruptly and look harsh regardless of the settings, it's just terrible :(( But on this tablet your lines look much smoother, wow. Although this is to be expected from xppen, so this is perhaps the best choice for drawing in the absence of other options

[@kurohshiro]

Right now I can just draw a comparison with an iPad and my usual setup but I heard a lot of similar things. The ipad is great. Xp pens new tablet is equally good but no ios which is one key element of why it's such a nice experience to draw with ipads. There's an app called hipaint which is a Procreate dupe for android. Still haven't tested it though. I also heard that Samsung devices are the closed to an iPad when it comes to the drawing experience

[@eilsxx]

@@kurohshiro yep, samsung is really good on its own, however the whole problem is the software, procreate is obviously made better than other programs. I haven't heard about hipaint, will have to give it a try, thank you! upd: I tried it out and it's indeed a very good app! I have no idea how I could have overlooked it.

[@somamd1639]

Ce taleeentt Par contre je préfère celui de medibang mais tous sont différent ( je me rend compte que l’application qu’on utilise est très différent selon notre type de couleurs et le dessin en lui même)
