Import or create brushes
Simply essential


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!

Come on Adobe ! This is JUST the second most requested feature ! Many of us are not using the app because of that !

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.

Add brushes to lines, and be able to change them afterwards.

Also essential to me is the ability to import the custom brushes and symbols I've got on my desktop version.

Doesn't even look like this feature is planned, judging by other requests below that have this label.

I’ve just signed up to a trial, thank goodness I did, no option to upload brushes, off to unsubscribe now, unlike the poor unfortunate souls below who are paying you monthly.... really disappointed !!

I just deleted this product from my device. I will now be paying you 20 a month for absolutely nothing. Without the ability to use brushes I have become used to using on the DT app it is useless to me.
Let me know the name of the charity I’m contributing to. -

there is still no brush import/create brushes option. You have had this in the Desk Top app for years (and years, and years, and years. I just started a 20.00/ mo plan that I'm locked into for a year for a crippled product.
5 months. Nothing -

Why is these even a needed request? How do you design an illustrator without brush import options. I just started a subscription for 20 a month for a crippled product. WTF are you even thinking.

Really, I don't even want to use illustrator in my ipad without more brushes.

‘Seriously! There is only so much you can do with the blob brush!
I need to be able to either import custom brushes or create my own! -

I have used Illustrator for 20 years, literally. I put “learning” another app that is geared towards incorporating the obvious benefits of an ipad over a desktop app. I was SO excited about the release. I even bought a new IPAD PRO and keyboard so I could be off and running with Illustrator for the IPAD. When it was released I spent hours trying to figure out what “I was doing wrong”. When it finally hit me that there was NO CUSTOM BRUSH OPTIONS I was appalled. I still am. What could adobe be thinking? Or are you not thinking? What good is an ipad app without brush features? It truly is unbelievable that Adobe would even think of releasing such a second hand app that clearly had very little serious thought in its creation? I will wait for one more release, if you can’t get your act together there are QUITE A FEW competitors that put Illustrator for IPAD to TOTAL SHAME. How many customers are frustrated like me? I HATE the idea of having to learn a whole new Illustration Program, but you are not giving me much choice. It’s time too rise to the times or get off the literary “pot”. Please.

Hi Avinash Singh Kotwal,
I saw you are the Sr. Product Manager at Adobe Illustrator and have responded on some of the other threads. Do you know if your team are planning to release this feature?
Cheers,

It would be very helpful if this feature could be added in upcoming updates ASAP
