[27] how to download brushes & what i use

i noticed that adding new brushes into photoshop is different than it was like two years ago and i was hella confused when i tried to download one recently lol 

HOW TO DOWNLOAD A BRUSH:

download a brush you like and make sure it's in an abr file

it should look like this

in photoshop, click the brush icon on the side bar (i have it circled in the picture above), then the small three lines (also cirlced). 

select 'import brushes'. 

then choose the abr file where it's located and import it. now you have new brushes to use!

WHAT I USE:

this is my new favorite! it's great to add detail to your face claim and it makes a huge difference!

here's an example

it's a small detail but i think it makes it look much better!

i love using this one when i'm making an edit and the background is on paper. 

i have other brushes but i rarely use those. i mainly stick to these three.
