</div><div style="text-align: left;">*If you have any problems or don't understand, don't hesitate to leave me a comment!*</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;"><b>Step 1:</b> Download some brushes that you like. You can either google Free Gimp Brushes, or look them up on your favorite graphics website. Need some recommendations? Ask me!</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;"><b>Step 2:</b> Go into the DOWNLOADS file on your computer. The brushes should be there, in a Zip file. You need to 'extract' those files. To do so, simply right-click the file and click either <b>Extract </b>or <b>Extract All</b>. (Options may differ, depending on the computer) After you extract the file, you can delete the zip file. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;"><b>Step 3: </b>Open GIMP. Go up to the toolbar and click the Edit button. Go down to the bottom of the Menu and click Preferences. A new window should open up. Go down the side-menu and click the plus sign by the FOLDERS button. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUz8fXSxUjmYtNTh5qkzb2mTGiINerx2IwB18ov_H4Y0h4kiJziuwyJ0wrgVlh-WY14Yxp_RN-4hEAhIHh8STIhEwJVKg-pUOp1yaIC7PonK7s1PotDqm3EY84n5eo1bDmhBZIxNbmeiM/s1600/Untitled.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="355" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUz8fXSxUjmYtNTh5qkzb2mTGiINerx2IwB18ov_H4Y0h4kiJziuwyJ0wrgVlh-WY14Yxp_RN-4hEAhIHh8STIhEwJVKg-pUOp1yaIC7PonK7s1PotDqm3EY84n5eo1bDmhBZIxNbmeiM/s400/Untitled.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">Now, right underneath the folders button, there is a BRUSHES option. Click on it.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">This is mainly what it should look like;</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMjhRpoOv1Dm4sEyxkpuNjF26BQVStU2IZX3Wo9ezurkmO5ReLM4bwhwOG0n2EnnZYH3DUl_STJMgAJWEexdQAlKHf8qdXy8FRGuraRcmVad0qmBkkUkvgvVxbAo7GpNGj8-Xo7IBthiY/s1600/tutorialthing.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="355" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMjhRpoOv1Dm4sEyxkpuNjF26BQVStU2IZX3Wo9ezurkmO5ReLM4bwhwOG0n2EnnZYH3DUl_STJMgAJWEexdQAlKHf8qdXy8FRGuraRcmVad0qmBkkUkvgvVxbAo7GpNGj8-Xo7IBthiY/s400/tutorialthing.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">See that first line of what looks almost like a URL? This is the location of your Gimp Brushes. The reason I've circled is New User 2 is because that changes with the name of your user profile on your computer. Mine, conveniently is called New User 2.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;"><b>Step 4:</b> Open a file. It can be anything, Documents, Pictures, Desktop, whatever. Go back to your Preferences Window (That you kept open, right?). Type (you can't copy and paste) the "URL" into the searchbox at the top of the file (see, I opened Pictures);</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><b> Step 5: </b>Type ENTER, and then you'll be inside your GIMP folder. At the very top, there should be a file 'brushes.'</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Open it.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><b>Step 6:</b> Make sure you still have your Downloads file open in a SEPARATE window.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Go into it.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Copy the brushes file you downloaded off the internet.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><b>Step 7: </b>Go baaaack to the Gimp/brushes file, and paste the brushes into that file.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Ta da!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">You're done!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">*If you kept Gimp open this while time, then nothing will happen. After you add brushes, you have to shut off GIMP and open it again.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
