What You'll Learn
Using pressure detection to adjust line thickness
To adjust line thickness using pressure detection in MediBang Paint, you will need a compatible device and stylus. Recommended devices include the GALAXY Note 3 and GALAXY Note II. For styluses, MediBang Paint iPad supports the Apple Pencil, Adonit Pixel, Intuos Creative Stylus, Bamboo Stylus Fineline, and more.
Once you have the necessary hardware, open the MediBang Paint app and access the settings menu. This can typically be done by tapping "Main Menu" and then "Settings" on the lower left of the canvas screen. Here, you will find the "Function Settings" for the stylus.
To enable pressure detection, locate the corresponding setting in the "Function Settings" and tap to activate it. This setting allows the app to detect the amount of pressure applied to the stylus and adjust the line thickness accordingly. A light press will result in thin lines, while pressing harder will create thicker lines.
In addition to the basic pressure detection setting, you can further customize your brush behaviour using the "Add Brush" feature. Clicking on "Add Brush" opens the "Edit Brush" window, where you can adjust various settings, including "Size by Pressure" and "Opacity by Pressure". Enabling "Size by Pressure" ensures that the brush size changes dynamically according to the pressure applied to the stylus. Similarly, ticking the box for "Opacity by Pressure" links the brush opacity to the pressure sensitivity of your stylus.

Setting up a supported stylus pen
To set up a supported stylus pen in MediBang Paint, you must first ensure that your device is compatible and that you have a supported stylus. The recommended devices are the GALAXY Note 3 and GALAXY Note II. Supported stylus pens include the Apple Pencil (iPad Pro Exclusive), Adonit Pixel, Adonit Pixel Pro (iPad Pro Exclusive), Intuos Creative Stylus, and Bamboo Stylus Fineline, among others.
Once you have confirmed compatibility, open the MediBang Paint app and locate the "Main Menu" or "Settings" option, typically found on the lower left of the canvas screen. From there, you can access the "Function Settings" specific to the stylus.
In the "Function Settings," you will find various options to customize your stylus experience. One important setting is "pressure detection." When enabled, this feature allows you to adjust the thickness of lines by varying the pressure applied to the stylus. Pressing lightly will result in thin lines, while pressing harder will create thicker lines.
Another useful feature is "Palm Rejection," which ensures that MediBang Paint only registers input from the connected stylus pen. This means that the software will not respond to touch from your fingers or hand, preventing accidental marks on the canvas while drawing.
To connect your stylus, follow the appropriate connection procedure for your stylus type. If you have an Apple Pencil, refer to the specific instructions for connecting to an iPad. For Wacom and Adonit styluses, there will be a slightly different process. Ensure that your device's Bluetooth is turned on, and if your stylus has a side button, press it to facilitate the connection.

Adjusting brush thickness
Another way to adjust the brush thickness is by directly inputting the desired value in the box next to the bar in the brush control window. This allows you to be more precise with your adjustments.
Additionally, if you are using a compatible device, you can adjust the brush thickness by varying the pressure you apply to the stylus or pen. By enabling pressure detection in the settings, you can control the line thickness by pressing lightly or harder on the stylus. This feature is available on devices such as the GALAXY Note 3 and GALAXY Note II, as well as certain iPad Pro models when using supported stylus pens like the Apple Pencil.
To enable pressure detection, go to "Main Menu" -> "Settings" on the lower left of the canvas screen. Then, tap on "Function Settings" and enable pressure detection. Now, when you use your stylus, the brush thickness will automatically adjust based on the pressure you apply.

Creating custom brushes
To create a custom brush, first, prepare the image you want to use as your brush. The image material should be drawn to a size of 500 pixels square. The recommended size of the image to be imported is 512 pixels on the short side, but you can register images larger than that. If you want to import the material from a file, export the data in PNG format. Next, from the brush window, select “Add Brush” at the bottom. Additionally, select “Select from Canvas (Bitmap)”. The brush editing window will appear, and you can adjust the brush settings from here. You can adjust the interval at which the image will be painted; the lower the value, the narrower the width of the drawing interval.
You can also change the number of lines in the brush settings, ranging from 2 to 32. This feature is useful for painting symbols, decorations, and abstract backgrounds. The transparency of the brush strokes can also be adjusted by pressure, resulting in thinner lines when drawing weakly and thicker lines when drawing strongly.
MediBang Paint offers a pen-in brush, fill brush, texture brush, and spatter brush, all of which can be created and customized according to your preferences and requirements.
