Let’s make a work

Just by starting MediBang Paint, you can not draw new paintings. You need to make a canvas to start drawing new.

Here we will explain the procedure to open a new canvas and prepare to actually create a work.

Please start MediBang Paint and close advertisement window first.
Closing the ad window opens a new window in front of the main window.

This window is called “Network panel” (1).

About the network panel

“Network panel” is a panel that collects useful functions for starting work with MediBang Paint. Launch MediBang Paint and close the ad, it opens automatically on top of the application window.

“Network panel” can be opened many times from the button of (2).

Try closing “Network Panel” and reopening the Network Panel here.

Now that you understand how to open “Network Panel”, let’s make a new canvas. (You can check the detailed explanation of the network panel from here.)
