I’ve been trying to get new brushes on Firealpaca (free cuz im broke), but idk where to find them. Does anyone have any places I can get some? Specifically one for rough sketches. Tysm!!
No, but the sister program Medibang Paint is available on Google Play. This app needs version 4.1 and up to run (which seems compatible with your tablet). You can find out more about its specs here.
Hi so I accidentally pressed something and now all my options/tools for like the pens and eraser and everything is gone. How do I get it back?

Check to see if you pressed TAB (the Show/Hide Function in the Window dropdown menu, located in the menu bar) by accident- this can make the entire workspace (canvas and windows for tools alike) disappear.
Otherwise check that your desired windows (Brush settings, Color Palette, Layers, etc) have a blue checkmark next to them when you access the Window dropdown from the menu bar.
Hi, I just got a new computer with better graphics and now all of my drawings are WAY to saturated. Is there any way I can change the saturation without re drawing it?

You can use Levels, Hue, or Tone Curve under the Filter option menuto adjust your image’s saturation in different ways! Hue is probably the easiest to use since it has 3 main sliders (Hue, Saturation, Brightness).
Instead of ctrl z, I use alt z to undo, but alt turns into the eyedropper tool. Do you guys know how to turn that off? I use medibang and am running windows 10.
I’ve found this strange since in the shortcuts it says the shortcut for eyedropper is I. And thats the default. Crtl-Z is also the default for Medibang. I highly suggest you change your undo shortcut, as this is probably annoying(i tested it out, it indeed was annoying for me). This probably isn’t the number one solution but its the only one I could think of without getting too technical.

If you go to File > Shortcut Settings (towards the bottom of the option menu), you should be able to see your current shortcuts, anon. You should check both the Edit (for Undo) and Tools (for Eyedropper) to make sure they are mapped correctly and don’t share the same keybindings.
“maybe make a new canvas the size of the square you want, fill with black (or whatever color, and then hollow it out if you need it hollowed), then copy/paste it onto the file you need it for ?”

I need help! I have one picture saved as a jpeg and it's smaller than most of mine but it won't upload anywhere because the file is too big and I've only say this once how do I save it as a smaller file and can I just screenshot it how do you screenshot firealpaca on a Dell laptop?
Usually you must combine all layers, or change the dpi to something smaller(I think maybe about 200-270??) By going to edit > Image size. But there’s a chance that does not work either. For screenshotting for pc there is a prt sc key at the top right to the side of the number keypad. This is for all laptops that use Microsoft or Windows, such as HP, DELL, or any other. For mac you use Shift-Command-4.
okay so my FireAplaca is bugging out. It won’t let me create a file or load one, and the whole program is bugging out, but i don’t want to delete it in fear of all my files being lost. Can anyone help??
Make sure your FireAlpaca version is up to date. If so it is a bug and I do suggest uninstalling FireAlpaca and reinstalling. Do not fear! If you have your files/drawings saved in a folder in your laptop they will stay there as they are not apart of the program itself. Other than that I have nothing else, has anyone had the same problem?
I’ve made a perfect line but It’s too thin! I want to make it bolder because it doesn’t fit with the piece I’m making. Does anyone know how to make it thicker?
Try using the transform tool with crtl-t or whatever shortcut you have for it. From there you can edit the line however you want. Though otherwise you’ll have to make your brush a bigger size and redrawing it.
