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!!
Our friend in FireAlpaca @fpacatuto has an exceptional brush tag!
DeviantArt is also a great place to find brushes- users Mo-fox & Nuubles have pretty good collections of custom brushes they’ve made.
And of course, you can also try your hand at making one yourself!

Is FireAlpaca compatible for use on a Ssung Galaxy Tab 4?
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 menu to 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.
-Mod Danny
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.

How do I draw a square with specific measurements? Thank you
Im afraid I’ve encountered no real way to do this . But instead try using the best estimates that you can and the transform tool.
If anyone knows please add on to this!

“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.
If anyone has another idea please let us know!

FireAlpaca won't let me create a file
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?

How do I make a line I've already drawn thicker or bolder?
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.

I have a cloud thing going on, and I want the edges to fade into transparency while still keeping the cloud texture, how do I do that?
What I would usually do to keep that sort of texture/effect is making two layers of it. Turning the first one off and then using gaussian blur on the bottom one. You can choose to either lower the opacity on either layer to make it look just right. I know this is a sorta weird way to do it but it works!

Hello, I could use some help. I wanted to make a comic. I know how to make my panels. But I already drew the comics, which are saved as PNGs. Is there a way to import them to the layer I have the comic panels drawn on? Thanks :)
Yes!! Copy the PNGs onto your clipboard and just paste it onto your canvas! Erase and/or delete the parts of the file you do not want and there you go! Then just do the same with your other PNGs.

A tribble floating through space.
It's a fur texture exercise I did on FireAlpaca. You can do some pretty awesome things with the smudge tool, lemme tell ya.
Impressive!!

Hey! I'm trying to work on a short animated gif on FireAlpaca, but every time I try to save my work in progress, it fails to do so? Any help? I don't want to restart my work again and again. \(QAQ)/
One of the only things I can think of is turning off the Onion mode and then saving it as an mdp. and when you reopen the file turn onion mode back on.

Wand selection
How can I select multiple things using the Wand tool? I see many people that use FA but they can select multiple areas on FA. It could be an older or newer version of the program but I just wanted to ask just in case you can change that somehow
—
If you hold Shift as you use the Wand tool (or Select or Lasso!), you can select multiple things! CTRL will deselect multiple items.
Correction made- thanks to @trixtr-god!

Super Slow and Laggy
Firealpaca has been working Great for me, But lately its been so slow and laggy, The layers take a long time to appear and The paint Bucket and Magic Wand tool takes 2-5 minutes to load when trying to use it. Can I fix this problem?
---
Sorry to hear you’re having this problem! We’ll do our best to try and help-
Try running FireAlpaca just by itself and make a new blank image- is it still lagging then? If so, it could be on an old update, or there could be something else happening (computer running too many background processes, not enough memory, etc). In some cases it can be the tablet too but it seems unlikely in this case.
If it doesn’t lag, it might be an issue with the piece(s) you’re working on due to either multiple layers, a big canvas (if you’re working with an older laptop) or particular settings.
These are the best answers I can give you without further info (such as when it started ocurring, if it does it all the time or sometimes, if it’s updated to the latest version, etc)
