Throwing my hat into the ring on this as well. The capability is clearly there for the app to read and manipulate existing brushes on imported files. But not being able to actively see, select and use those brushes further is a deal-breaker. Please consider putting this feature on high priority if it isn't already!

This is paramount. Iam deeply frustrated that I can't access brushes that I like for texture.

Please provide this very soon! It IS DEFINITELY ESSENTIAL!

brushes and symbols needed especially for fashion illustration purposes

Like others here I require the standard Paint Brush tool for my work, I was excited to use Illustrator on my iPad, and then felt let down by the omission of this fundamental tool for illustration.

While we’re at it could we also get a way to edit pressure on brush strokes (like they do on Affinity Designer on iPad)?

Having access to a wide and endless variety of brushes we can download and even create ourselves would remove the limiting factor of brush selection. Being able to purchase and download all sorts of vector based brushes like we are able to in the desktop version would add a cherry on top of this amazing extension and application of this program.

Please add a tool to import brushes just like in desktop version! It’s a little tiring only having 4 brushes

He sufrido bastante tratando de ajustar los pinceles en procreate; creí que por fin podría trabajar mis archivos con los brushes en ai.....pero no. :(

I cannot believe that Adobe released a version of Illustrator without the ability to create brushes!!! That’s crucial. We need that. I downloaded the iPad version of Illustrator to make my life easier, not more difficult. Get it together, Adobe. We’re PAYING MONTHLY for this!

I'm sure it's in the works, but the iPad version definitely needs to allow for brushes I have in my desktop library to transfer over.

We need to be able to import brushes. This is necessary.

I spent hours today trying to figure out where/how/what to look/go/find any kind of "paint brush". Surely they didn't release Illustrator without that? But I think you did and that is soul crushing. I actually find it more than perplexing . I have been SO excited about the iPad release. Even to the point I went out and bought a new 12.9" Pro with tons of memory, dreaming about all of the beautiful illustrations I would create in Illustrator. What is really the point of Illustrator on the Ipad without paint brushes? Back to that "other" iPad software, but if you ever do come out with this feature I will be an "insta convert" but until then, nah.

Have more brushes! (like a tapered brush), allow to add, export, and make custom brushes.
Easily delete overlapping lines like in CSP.
Include patterns like half tones for comics we can drag and drop inside shapes.
Allow gradients and patterns to be applied to the stroke.
We can choose which part of the stroke to change the width instead of all of it.
Have an option to do an even width change or freehand.
Be able to fill color within the visible strokes/lines instead of shapes.

If I could transfer brushes I made on the full app the here or able to access them via cloud that would be very helpful.

Yes. This blob Brush doesn't serve. (Never understood this brush since you can do the same with Expand and Pathfinder)

Not changing in fills but keeping it as a single path so you can apply different brush strokes afterwards, and keep the vector path so it's also useable for animation purposes.

At least a working paint brush tool that exactly works like the desktop version. Able to change the brush type and adjusting the brush stroke after it has been drawn, so not a fill like it creates now but just a single path on which we can apply brush strokes.

Have more brush options. Similar to the options on the desktop version, like watercolor brushes, charcoal, textures, etc...

Yes, it’s a bit frustrating not having them, specially not having the possibility to configure the existing ones.

Absolutely essential !
