There are a few ways to add brushes to Photoshop Sketch, and the method you choose will likely depend on the types of brushes you want to add and how you plan on using them. For example, if you want to add brushes that are specifically designed for use with Photoshop Sketch, then you can find and download them from the Adobe Add-ons website.

On the other hand, if you want to use brushes that were created for another program, such as Adobe Photoshop, then you can use the Brush tool to import them into Sketch. Finally, if you have a creative idea for a brush but don’t know how to create it yourself, then you can use the brush presets that come with Sketch as a starting point.

  3. Browse the results and click the “Add” button next to any brushes that you want to download.
  4. Once the brushes have been downloaded, they will be automatically installed and will be available the next time you launch Sketch.

To import brushes from another program:

  1. Open the file that contains the brushes that you want to import. For example, if you’re importing Photoshop brushes, then open a .abr file in Photoshop.
  2. Select the brush or brushes that you want to import and copy them.

    You can do this by holding down the Ctrl (Windows) / Command (Mac) key and clicking on each brush that you want to select. Alternatively, you can click on the first brush, hold down the Shift key, and click on the last brush to select all of them at once.

  3. Switch back to Sketch. If necessary, create a new file or open an existing one.
  4. You should now see your imported brushes in the Brushes panel.
