Frequently asked questions
Is "Pencil Brush" free to download?
Yes — this resource is free to download from MyPhotoshopBrushes, with no signup and no paywall. It is published under the Free for Commercial Use license, which allows commercial use — see the license panel on this page for the exact terms.
What file format does this download use?
The download is a ZIP archive containing .ABR files (plus .TPL) — unzip it first, then use the files inside.
How do I use it in Photoshop?
Download the .ABR file and double-click it — Photoshop imports the set and appends it to the Brushes panel automatically. You can also drag the file onto the Photoshop window, or open Window → Brushes and choose Import Brushes from the panel menu.
What is the .TPL file format?
A .TPL file is a Photoshop Tool Preset — a saved tool configuration that bundles a brush tip with its paint settings (opacity, flow, pressure dynamics). Load it via Window → Tool Presets and choose Load Tool Presets from the panel menu; the presets appear in the Tool Presets picker at the left end of the options bar.
