How to change brush size in medibang

Back to index

Each brush in MediBang Paint has a default size of the default size.
To change the size of this criterion, you need to change the brush size from the brush edit window.

POINTWhen you start up MediBang Paint again, all brush size will be reset to default size.

If you are in trouble with “How many times you change the brush size, you will get back when you restart the application!” Please change the default size of the brush.

Let’s try it

Select the “pen” brush and change the brush size from “Brush Control (1)” to “20”.

The brush size of the brush window “pen” brush size becomes red letters with “*” mark on the upper left of the brush preview.
This state indicates that the size of the “pen” brush has been changed from the default value.

Let’s try clicking “brush preview window (2)” once.

Brush size has been reset to “10”. (Since the default value of the “pen” brush is “10”)

Next, let’s change the default size. Click the gear icon of the “pen” brush and open the “Brush Edit” window.

Please change the brush size to “50px” in this window and press the “OK” button. The default size of “pen” has been changed to “50”.

In this state, let’s change the size of the “pen” brush appropriately, click the brush preview, restart MediBang Paint, and let’s see if the brush size returns to “50”.

Back to index

When changing the brush size from the brush control, you can restore the default brush size by clicking the brush preview window.

This function is useful when you want to temporarily change the brush size.

Let’s try it

Please select the appropriate brush and click “Brush preview window (2)” once.

First, let’s change the brush size from “Brush control (1)”.

When you change the brush size, the brush size of the brush window changes to red letters, and the “*” mark is added to the upper left of the brush preview.

Next, click “Brush Preview (2)”. The brush size returns to its original value.

Tips

This original number is called the default size of the brush.

To change the default size of the brush, you need to change the brush size from the brush edit window. (For details, see How to change the default brush size.)

I'm looking for keyboard shortcuts in Medibang for digital painting. I originally learned to paint in photoshop, and making the transition to Medibang has been great, but I'm missing some of the shortcuts and features that were essential to my workflow.

Specifically, photoshop lets you adjust the size and the hardness of your brush with alt + right click and drag left to right, or up and down. I know in Medibang you can use the brush panel and you can use the [ and ] to resize your brush, but it works super slowly. Is there a faster shortcut for resizing brushes? Or, is there a way to make the square brackets change the brush size by bigger increments?

The other shortcut I used a lot in PS was holding down alt while using the lasso tool, as seen in this video. This allowed me to use both the polygonal lasso and the traditional lasso tool all in the same selection.

Lastly, if I hold alt and click on a layer mask in PS, it shows just the mask in black and white until I hold alt and click on the mask again. Also I think if you hold ctrl and click on the visibility icon on a layer, it makes all other layers but the one you clicked invisible, and that's really useful at times.

Is there anything comparable to these things in Medibang? I know they're different programs and things aren't going to work the same way, but I thought I'd give asking you all a try in case I'm missing something.

Side note: if anyone has any favorite shortcuts or workflow tips, please share!

Thanks so much!

Is there a way to change the brush size with a button? I know in Sai it's like [ and ] or something.

Hold ctrl/cmmd + alt/option and then drag left or right to decrease or increase the size of the brush.
