Please, tell me your secrets!(to draw in a tablet)

[silverraven0]

Fire alpaca is basically medibang senior as they're made by the same company, so choosing medibang pro alone is already okay.

[fleohr]

I have a question about medibang: is it possible to recreate SAI's brushes there? Or maybe reach something similar?

[orchidesyl]

Sometimes people don't have confidence in their lines because they're not used to digital media making. Have you considered taping a piece of paper onto it to make it feel more natural?

[orchidesyl]

Also I'm not sure if Chromebooks accept Android apps, but Medibang Paint and Jump Paint are apps I can suggest. Hope this helps!

What kind of brushes? I don't know about the medibang pro one since I don't have pc, but in android, there's a few brushes that you can add using a picture of your choice. Bitmap, bitmap watercolor, scatter, scatter watercolor, pattern and multi brush.

You can add a multiple choice of brushes using them and there's some free source of material you can download for them (btw, medibang also provided free material like tones etc), but I couldn't find them on Google somehow.

Edit : The cloud have a lot of free brushes choice you can add to your collection and they usuall
y adding a new brushes once in a while.

↑ its not all, just some example.

There medibang for iOS and windows too, if I'm not wrong.

oh! i think i have the same one - huion h610 pro right? thats a nice tablet, man. the shakiness is likely just from not having a stabiliser on. i know fa abt medibang, so idk if it has one.

[silverraven0]

The stabilizer on medibang is called correction (like the pic below, but I'm not sure about the pro on the pc).

In the latest updates, it raised from 5 to the now 20. I'm using it only up to 15, since more than that will make some weird crooked lines, but it might differ from devices.

[A-weird-girler]

I know! I've downloaded it and started it successfully but I just need to get used to the feel of the tablet. I'll try the paper thing.

@silverraven0 It actually worked! Now the lines are smoother! I'm working on a drawing now I'll upload it when it's done

[silverraven0]

Good luck . You just need to practice more now.

[masoneasley]

Practice makes perfect. I've been using tablets for a long time, and I still struggle with lines. I personally prefer sketching on paper, and then scanning the art into your computer.

[silverraven0]

True that. I'm still not comfortable enough drawing with my phone with my finger, since the rubber tip stylus pen I have is too big, and its just uncomfortable, although it hurts and numbing my hands sometimes. And sketching on the phone directly make my style changed and it looks more weirder, so I sketched everything (to the rough draft) on paper as I love drawing with paper the most before taking a photo of it.

You might just try scanning your drawings to the pc first and try to get comfortable with your tablet.

[fleohr]

Omg so many options!
Thank you for sharing! I wanted to make a custom brush like, adding textures, but looking through the prints you made I can see some of the brushes I made on SAI, and some more I couldn't figured out how to make haha, I'll check it when I'm free

[awsumlife01]

Well, it takes time to get used to the hand and eye coordination, all i can say is get an easy software to startup I started with Paint Tool Sai its really good for beginners and practice a lot! It took me a few months to get used to it! You will do just fine don't worry

[J.Z.Castillo]

Looks like there is nothing wrong with the tablet or the program... it's you. I'm not saying to blame yourself, but drawing on a tablet gets some time to get used to. When I first drawing digitally I had the same problem, everything looked... off. So, make sure you use your stabilizer, keep your tablet calibrated, and just practice a whole lot. Eventually you'll get the hang of it!

[A-weird-girler]

Here's my first drawing! Not too bad, what do y'all think?

I also finally discovered color dodge!

[Brownie]

A tip I would give is to not wear the glove,
I think it makes drawing a lot easier once you get used to it,and your hands don't slip and slide on your tablet

[silverraven0]

You're able to not using the gloves if the palm rejection choice is checked. Medibang have this choice on the setting, I believe.

If you can hold on to not to touch the pad at all, the palm rejection is not needed though.
