We were able to ship support for Art and Calligraphic Brushes in our 2.0 release. But there is more to be done for Import / Export of (atleast) these Brush types. We’re keeping this thread open for your feedback. Thank you!

Debating the purchase of an iPad right now. Really tough to commit without the use of custom brushes in Illustrator!

As everyone has already said, adding and saving brush settings is a MUST.

It is a little tricky finding where to name your new brush to save it but seems to work somewhat for calligraphic brushes.
I wish I could also save blob brushes. I keep having to redo them every time I open the document anew. (or did I miss something?)

Appreciate all of the great being done with brushes on iPad. Am hoping that pattern brushes can soon be included in an upcoming release. :)

Was so excited to find out that the brush tool was added, but it has some major bugs to work out - why even release it??? First of all, I can't save any brushes I make and use in a separate document; ie add it to a library within illustrator for iPad. Second, I can't import my existing brush files from my Illustrator for desktop, which, I have a lot. having to recreate all of them would be a major hassle. And last but most certainly not least...Why can't I apply my custom brushes to pen tool illustrations??? This makes no sense. Only being able to use the brush tool for brushes means that I can't make a straight line (like holding shift would on desktop) or apply it to pencil or pen drawings. So overall this tool is incredibly limiting, and shouldn't have even been released until it was finished.

We *need* to be able to import brushes, the preset ones have huge limitations. Good program, but I find myself using other ones almost solely because of this.

Honestly i love the app on ipad. It’s incomplete with out being able to create custom brushes. Add this feature ASAP. Illustrator is incomplete without it.

Not being able to import brushes has really caused a problem. Please can this be changed.

It’s honestly sort of crazy you even released this product without this feature. Definitely needs to be added ASAP.

I’ve just bought an iPad to change from using desktop to draw on and then realised I can’t change or add to brushes… wtf?
How is this possible? Even more depressing to see on here how long people have been complaining about it and still not there?
Personally even if I had a square brush I could get by a bit but wow come on Adobe

I would use Illustrator (iPad) if I could use custom brushes like I can in the desktop version.

I’d like to be able to have the same brushes as desktop AI, I can’t draw a shape with the pressure brush and colour the shape. You can only to that with pencil brush and that doesn’t let you use a pressure brush

Essential option in this program, especially if you professionally used the desktop version for many years before. Please find out a way to add this option ASAP, many of us are waiting for it.
