I'm not into performative sketchbook stuff. Enjoy this mess, where even I don't know what's going on as I add more. It's funny how I almost never #sketch landscapes, for some reason.

That's something I never thought about, my mistake, I will make a short instruction. Thank you for noting this little hiccup! Here's something I found for you, before I make my own doc:

Get the Brush File: Download a .brush (single brush) or .brushset (brush set) file to your iPad's Files app or cloud storage.
Open Brush Library: In Procreate, tap the Brush icon (looks like a paintbrush) on the top menu.
Tap the '+' Button: In the top right of the Brush Library, tap the + icon to open the Brush Studio.
Select Import: Tap "Import from Files" at the top right of the Brush Studio.
Choose Your File: Navigate to your downloaded brush file and tap it to import.
Find Your Brush: The new brush or set will appear in an "Imported" folder or at the top of your current library.
