    I agreed with that Clip Studio is more powerful than Medibang but one thing I can't understand why many artists say Medibang interface is Unintuitive and No user friendly. For me, Medibang is too simple and easy to understand without any tutorial, but Clip studio interface is too complicated and need to search the tutorial every time to do something.

      @Bionic thats.... normal. its called learning a new software. if youre doing something new with software, expect to have to look up some things in the Least. probably should actually study it and figure out how to properly use it instead of hopping in and hoping it works. honestly that goes for.... most things ever

      Medibang UI on mobile is the best I've seen for an art program on Android tbh, Clip Studio is hefty with a lot of features which is GREAT for upping my art but also makes my workflow very clunky compared to Medibang. It will take getting used to but I remember not taking very long to learn Medibang compared to other programs

      @@AccelSternritter This is why I used Medibang for years, but it doesn't change the fact that paid software usually offers more if you're able to pay for it, so I prefer to compare from the lens of "if you can get both, which is better" when it comes to features specifically. For me personally, Clip Studio is a great bargain as it's cheaper than Photoshop and offers pretty much limitless brush options and decent tools for setting up backgrounds, poses, making comics, etc. It is also a common software used in Japanese animation studios so it has an industry presence (albeit mostly in a single country). If you have the money for it I would absolutely recommend investing in it, if you are on PC even better as it is a single fee for an unlimited license.

  • @sharaheartsixx
    @sharaheartsixx Рік тому +37

    This is so unbelievably petty but the one thing I hated about medibang and made it completely unusable for me is the fact that the layers can't count properly. In CSP and other programs if you rename a layer or merge them and continues like 123, but Medibang goes 123 21 (and includes folders in that count). It drives me insane more than it should 😅

  • @PanicBeanWolfie
    @PanicBeanWolfie Рік тому +26

    been using medibang for about 5 years now and have very rare, and very little complaints! i dont use a ton of layers, so worrying about merging a bunch of layers isn't a problem.. i do wish i could clip layers to entire folders, but i just duplicate that set of layers (since i dont use many) and merge them, it works more or less the same! though all said, i do have a very simple art style and have all the tools i need already in medibang, changing would be such a hassle especially as i rely on that simplicity

      honestly i hated csp when i first tried it, i forget if you can change brush settings in the trial but if you can id definitely recommend trying it again! the default brushes are definitely more catered to webcomic artists, but with a bit of tweaking (or hours getting lost in the asset store) its really nice to use imo. obviously its paid, but the pro version can go for like €25 on sale i think? plus... theyve basically opened themselves up for 🏴‍☠️ with the subscripion stuff

    Just got to watch this video. As someone has actually used both programs... I would say that Medibang was the program I used more so over any other free art program back before I got myself Clip Studio. Krita was just... the GUI didn't mesh well with me back when I was a beginner. I can attest to the fact that Medibang doesn't have much brushes. However, they do have brush packs on their site which you could download. I... might be misremembering though.
    I would only suggest Medibang to people just coming into digital art though, as you mentioned with being not pro-friendly in some respects. The only thing I miss about Medibang would be the fact that they show you the features, like correction, on the top bar. That was something I did miss, as I don't really like having to hunt down those types of features in my art program.

  • @CochelleM

For so long I was using Krita but it lack some features that I know I can use in Photoshop but its not available there so now Im trying CSP to practice

    I used Medibang and CSP
    Medibang is a cool program, but registration spoils it (if there was no connection to Wi-Fi, it would be nice to work with it). And so the program is really good. (I haven't used this program yet because of how to draw on it?)
    oh, and also in Medibang, when I was drawing on my tablet, it was buggy, the browser was stupid: SO FAR (tablet: XP-PEN DECO 1 V2)
    well, another reason my computer is weak /
    I also used CSP, but I didn't really figure it out)
    because of the over-sophisticated interface and in confusion: HOW DOES IT WORK?)

I'm thinking of giving it another shot, but it's just so hard to navigate. I've been doing digital art for about 4 years now, and I'm still not sure how much I could do.
    I've used Medibang quite a lot on my iPad. It works just fine. But I prefer FireAlpaca on my computer.

They are not in favor of AI generated images specifically. They felt bad for upsetting people. In my own opinion, I sometimes wonder if people like this are NPCS cause they sure don't read lmao.
      -EDIT- I am going to delete my responses because they are being taken out of context. I'll add this here:
      Ai is not a shorthand for ''AI Art Generators that Steal art''. It's a shorthand for ''Artificial Intelligence.'' It's a programing code that is capable of learning. This means AI is used in all sorts of ways that is unrelated to art. Like it or not. AI is the future.
      NOW, Regarding art issues. AI isn't regulated yet with laws. AT least when we are talking about AI Art generators. Yes art generators shouldn't exist in my opinion. It steals from artists BUT that's NOT solely what AI is. XD
      HOWEVER, AI was never bad being used in CSP anyways. It's being used to elevate tools for artists.
