    In answer to Sarah, and everyone else asking how to install:

    Download the brushes.

    Go to My computer > Local Disk > Programs files > GIMP

    Once in the GIMP folder, go to Share > Gimp > 2.0 (or whatever version you have) > Brushes.

    Cut and paste the brushes that you downloaded into the folder, and restart the GIMP program.

  19. Sarah says:

    I can’t figure out how to download these…I know i’ll have to move them to the gimp file…but i cant figure out how to download them to get them into a file period…i cant find the button or whatever…

  32. matt says:

    Hey I’m having a hard time. i have windows vista. and it sucks. any chance i could get some help?

    It keeps saying:
    “C:\Users\owner\AppData\Local\Temp\SS-grunge-swirls-3.zip could not be opened, because the associated helper application does not exist. Change the association in your preferences.”

    • reiko says:

      matt,
      right click on the zipped folder. there will be a button that says extract all. click it. when the files r extracted, an opened folder will pop up along with the original zip folder. delete the zip and move the opened folder to your gimp brushes by clicking on ur harddrive icon, C:\…… then go to users, gimp, brushes. make sure to keep the opened bursh folder location open. i will post a tutorial for this on my youtube channel: dago201.
      hope this helps

  37. marina says:

    i am wondering what kind of brushes would u use if u want to make a avitar like meez or imvu?

  38. K to the YO says:

    Thanks!!! Help alot~~

  39. JumbleSale says:

    Lovely variety of brushes in all, however this particular page has brushes of similar styles, might I suggest putting many different varieties here instead?

    Plus your tutorial, although simple is a little hard to follow, as I am definately not a computer whizz and can’t seem to find any of the documents needed to downloads the brushes.

    So although I have saved them to my computer, they are unusable at the moment, and I am sad to say I have had to delete many due to the fact they take up so much memory and can’t be used.

    I think a step-by-step would be nicer, plus directions ons where to go. It would help a lot. Good Luck, and I love some of the brushes people have made (:

  40. Dan-O says:

    FINALLY! amazing brushes now i can make better designs. THANK YOU!

  41. Janae says:

    I didn’t realize how amazing GIMP can be. I am excited to try a brush. This is all new to me!

  42. jess says:

    Wow! these brushes are amazing!! I decided to install GIMP because I wanted to improve my avatar creating skills, and decided to google some brushes, I’m glad i did because these brushes will help me create some avatars beautifully!

  51. Mebert says:

    samantha, all you have to do is get to the actuall brushes and copy paste into your gimp folder. to do this u may want to search for your simp folders. then you paste them into the brushes folder.

    hope this helps!
