Hello @tosiek and welcome to the forum 🙂

> [@tosiek](#):

> so i uploaded this bundle

It’s more likely that you downloaded it, from the Google Drive link provided above.  
Also, it’s not a bundle, it’s a .zip file. If you Extract the content of that .zip file then you’ll get a folder containing Nahum’s Inks .bundle file and also a brush preset .kpp file called Speed Lines.

The .bundle can be imported with Settings → Manage Resource Libraries → Import and the Speed Lines brush preset can be imported with Settings → Manage Resources → Import Resources.

They all work. The Speed Lines brush preset is a Colour Smudge Engine brush so it works on existing artwork but doesn’t draw anything itself.

The issue seems to occur because you are using the outdated Krita 4 and this set was made with Krita 5 and probably many or all of the brushes need Krita 5 to work.  
Krita 5 can be downloaded from here if you are willing to update:

> **[Krita Desktop | Krita](https://krita.org/en/download/krita-desktop/)**
>
> Download the latest version of Krita for FREE on your device. Available on Windows, Linux, macOS, and Android tablets.

But in case you have created own tags for the resources you use, be aware that they will be lost due to the complete rewritten and updated resource-management in Krita 5.  
Beside that an update would be a very good idea, you’ll get lots of new features, additionally a software where bugs are likely to be fixed. Krita 5 was launched nearly two years ago, now we are on Krita 5.1.5, and in the near future Krita’s next version-step upwards to Krita 5.2 will happen.

Using a fresh version 4.4.8, I tried importing Nahum’s bundle and the brush presets did not appear, even after a restart of 4.4.8, so they are not compatible with 4.4.8.  
If I then used 5.1.5, they did appear for me, immediately.  
So, you must have done something else which hasn’t been fully explained.

I think a clean up of the current situation will be needed then a new attempt to import them.  
Which operating system are you using?  
Are you fully capable of using a File Manager to find and delete files?

Hello, I know this is late and what I’ll say may or may not work, but check the “all untagged” brushes and make sure the bundle is turned on so they are in the brushes library. I kept looking for it and I found the brushes there. I hope this helps!

🙂 Hello @Imad24, and welcome back to the community!

Do you say you can import and use it using Krita 4.x? The issue here is that @tosiek uses Krita 4 and this bundle was created using a Krita 5.2 pre-alpha version, which offers options Krita 4 obviously doesn’t know and can’t handle.

Hello @Michelist Thank you! I’m glad to be a Krita user and I hope the best for all! 😄

Yes he was trying to use the brush bundle for Krita 4, but he said in the comments he updated to Krita 5 and yet he still wasn’t able to find the brush. I struggled too at first, then I found it in “all untagged” and thought maybe I should comment about this.

Right, my mistake, I misinterpreted his second screenshot, because it shows the resource manager from the early Krita 5.x versions, which no longer exists in its current form and has since been significantly changed for today’s representation.  
Thanks, I wouldn’t have noticed that otherwise!
