Free brushes for SketchBook FAQ

ALERT: Free brushes are NOT available to iOS or Android Mobile users.

Brushes are ONLY available on the SketchBook Pro Desktop and SketchBook Pro Windows 10.

Free brushes from the SketchBook blog

Visit the Tips & Tricks page for free brush packs. However, before you do, there are some key points you should keep in mind:

Manually installing a brush set

  1. In either the Desktop, Enterprise, or Windows 10 version of SketchBook, tap Brush Library icon to open the Brush Library.
  2. Tap the upper right corner of a brush set to access its marking menu.
  3. Select Import Brush Set icon in SketchBook Import Brush Set.
  4. Locate the downloaded brushes (usually in your Downloads folder). Though the file is in .zip format, there is no need to extract it.
  5. Tap Open.

Windows 10 users - Issues importing the free brush .zip files

If you are using the Windows 10 version of SketchBook Pro, you might be having issues with importing the free brushes. The .zip format is an issue when using the Microsoft Edge and Internet Explorer browser to download the free brushes. To correct this issue, use a different browser, such as Google Chrome. The zipped file will download correctly and you will have .skbrushes format files.

Note:

The zipped files can be imported into the Desktop version of SketchBook Pro.

Some of the brushes from older posts won't work on the Windows 10 version.
