╰┈➤ i use ibis paint x for all of my graphic needs. it's the only thing i know how to use, and it's perfect for me! 1. it's free! well... mostly anyway. i use it free. you will never see me pay for anything. 2. it is available on: apple, android and pc!

please keep in mind, i do not use my laptop for graphics unless i make mood boards, psds, or gifs. i only use my phone to make graphics.

╰┈➤ although i do not use this top part of the screen as much as i use the bottom, i don't want you feeling overwhelmed with your screen. the only functions i really use are the stabiliser and undo/redo! but, for your sake, i have put annotations so that you know what certain buttons do! the first 2 buttons on the right hand side are ones that i NEVER use. you do not have to worry about these!

╰┈➤ this brush menu will soon become your bestfriend. i'm not kidding. by clicking the third icon, you will have access to this menu. here, you can see the brushes provided to you by ibis paint x! some brushes are locked, but, ibis paint is very aware of people using their app for free. there will be an orange button next to the brushes, you can watch a 30 second ad and boom, you now have access to every single brush!

in the next tutorial, i will share all of the brushes i use! brushes for hair, brushes for highlighting, and more!
