Good afternoon, I hope you are having a great time 
!
When I found the animated brushtips from @wojtryb, I absolutely fell in love with them 
, however, I have a little problem and it is with the brush that is for making tiles.
The way it works doesn’t really match the image it’s supposed to give, I can’t even find the brush tip in the brush settings 
.
What can I do to fix this? I hope it’s not too much trouble 
Please give a link to the topic or place that you found and downloaded these.
That would help people other than wojtryb to give help and advice.
You can find this in @wojtryb’s shared Google Drive folder, in the “brush prototypes” subfolder.
The requested brush tip is “tiles21.gih”, from the “animated_prototypes.bundle”.

And now I seem to have found the reason. It’s a slightly larger brush tip, about 18 MB, and Krita won’t load it, and you may remember that Krita sometimes had problems with larger brush tips in terms of size in megabytes. I tested this with Krita 5.2.1.
I’ll have to repeat this with Krita 5.2 and 5.1.5 to see how they react.

Hi um @Michelist is it possible that when you do test them that you could post an update please?
It took me some time to figure out how to make this brush tip visible for Krita. The current release Krita 5.2.1 caused the most trouble and required three attempts to load the brush tip, so if it doesn’t work the first time, then repeat the import of the brush tip.
The brush tip has to be unpacked and imported manually to be “seen” by Krita. But even then there are pitfalls. Possibly a new bundle could help, but I have not tested this yet.
So in Krita 5.1.5, after unpacking the brush tip from the bundle and copying it to Krita’s resource subfolder “brushes” and then starting Krita, I could find the brush tip in the brush-editor under the name “tiles2” and assign it to the brush (but unusually not while the brush tip is only in the bundle), this brush tip has to be imported individually, for whatever reason.
Krita does not want to find the brush tip from the bundle.
In Krita 5.2.1 I could not add the brush tip at first.
When trying with versions 5.2.0 release, 5.3.0-prealpha (git b24a348) (NEXT) and 5.2.1 (git 7eb718c) (PLUS), it works most reliably to add the brush tip in the brush editor via the import button there.
Storing it in the “brushes” folder and then starting Krita worked “sporadically”, as did the usual way via ‘‘Settings’’ >> ‘‘Manage Resources…’’ >> ‘‘Import Resources’’, don’t ask me why (this brush tip is obviously a diva).
After the brush tip had finally been imported, I switched off the automatic spacing in the brush-editor and achieved usable results by 0.5, see screenshot for settings. I suggest you to fine-tune it for your needs.
In case anyone doesn’t know how to extract the brush tip from the bundle, I’ve put the unpacked brush-tip in my cloud. The brush tip is best imported in the brush-editor, as described above¹:

Old, often not working link:
To get the corresponding bundle from @wojtryb you have to click on the link “Resource folder” here, or on the page for “Version 6.0 of wojtryb’s “Wont teach you to draw” brushpack” to enter the folder “brush prototypes” on the website that opens and download the bundle “animated_prototypes”:
By the way, in a previous ↑ post ↑ I mistakenly said 18 MB for the brush tip, but it only has 12 MB, I read one line too low.

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!
I THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR HELPING ME, NOW I WILL BE ABLE TO ENJOY THAT BEAUTIFUL BRUSH MUCH MORE.
I REALLY APPRECIATE IT VERY MUCH !!!
We must investigate this and report a bug.
Yes, we must, but now I have to sleep for a few hours before I can investigate this further. Then I’ll take a deeper look at it.

I repeated the tests with the release version Krita 5.2.1 today.
I set up a fresh installation and after each run, which I repeated 3 times, I deleted the files ‘‘kritarc’’ & ‘‘resourcecache.sqlite’’ and restarted Krita.
The first test was to see if Krita could recognize and display the brush tip ‘‘tiles21.gih’’ in the bundle. This was not the case three times.
The second test was to import the file ‘‘tiles21.gih’’ via the resource management, via ‘‘Settings’’ >> ‘‘Manage Resources…’’ >> ‘‘Import Resources’’. This worked all three times with the absolutely fresh installation, unlike tonight with my ‘‘working installation’’.
The third test was to determine whether Krita imports the ‘‘tiles21.gih’’ file stored in the ‘‘brushes’’ subfolder of the resources’ folder at startup. Again, unlike tonight, this worked all three times.
Fourthly, I also checked whether the ‘‘tiles21.gih’’ file could still be imported via the brush engine as it was tonight. This also worked every time.
Final result: ''The file ‘‘tiles21.gih’’ could be imported without any problems using the three import methods mentioned, using a fresh installation of Krita 5.2.1. However, it never worked to import the file ‘‘tiles21.gih’’ in the bundle ‘‘animated_prototypes.bundle’’ into Krita when importing the bundle.
I have not yet tested whether a repack of the bundle would lead to different results, and if the ‘‘tiles21.gih’’ would import then. However, the file ‘‘tiles21.gih’’ is correctly entered in the referencing file ‘‘manifest.xml’’ of the bundle, as far as I can tell.
