> [@tachiko](#): > > it’s less see through that way. and you can also further tweak the thickness with speed that way if you wanted to. Yup but the original brush is quite transparent, that’s one of its quirks, it can be used for both sketching and lineart. ![imagen](https://krita-artists.org/uploads/default/original/3X/8/a/8a4cd4a2f0ab3e43ee5c9f9a27dcb45addb28710.jpeg) [Nachoz Art](https://twitter.com/NachozArts?s=20&t=KF0544sXaCVILoDp7GsM_A) This is just information as to why the brush is transparent, as I remember that when I tried this brush for the first time in CSP I didn’t understand very well how to use it, then I understood its use better over time. ---

i played around with it for anyone that wants less variance [Proton Drive](https://drive.proton.me/urls/GBT72951JR#YsQjGwDIPN0U) ![more subtle](https://krita-artists.org/uploads/default/original/3X/b/5/b5f578efc25a89f1d603d1f1fb2daac7abe6ffa3.png) edit I made adjustments again the start was making dots so i made its size different over distance and time. and tried to make it a bit more transparent. but you can always lower the opacity or go back and erase with a soft brush. > **[Proton Drive](https://drive.proton.me/urls/MX4D8W7T0M#O1WucJ276aqp)** > > Proton Drive allows you to securely store and share your sensitive documents and access them anywhere. ---

If I were to take off pressure and use fade instead would this work? I have no pressure sensitivity that’s why I ask. ---

I know this is old but I wanted to thank for the brushes as I had gotten a Wacom One and it came with a free trial of CSP and I loved the brushes but when I went to save it wouldn’t let me. I went back to Krita and was sad about my brushes. Thank you! ---

i watched the video and when i use my pen and draw with the brush, it looks completely different and unstable: ![image](https://krita-artists.org/uploads/default/original/3X/2/0/20c5ce2a14793ad79d884b7a17ce2d488c73ae41.png) ---

Did you get the one from @SchrodingerCat or the 1st one? This is the post from SchrodingerCat: > [@Replicating CSP's Nacho-Pen For Krita](https://krita-artists.org/t/replicating-csps-nacho-pen-for-krita/49716/7): > > I recreated it from memory because I’m currently on Fedora and I can’t download the brush with the version of Clip that I have installed on Lutris. So well the brush is not perfect but it should be 80% similar, I would say 90% but as I mentioned before Krita’s speed sensor is different from Clip’s. I’m a bit worried about the settings because they might change depending on the size of your tablet, but hey the settings I have for the speed sensor are the default ones. I leave the d… ---

I’m not sure if it’s just me, but it says that this file is unsupported for me (maybe it’s because the type of drawing tablet I’m using? Which is an XP Pen Magic Drawing Tablet, an android). I’m not really sure how to download it I’m so sorry. ---

🙂 Hello @Blossoming_Blue, and welcome to the forum! If I had to bet, you tried importing the resources offered in this topic via `File` \> `Open`, perhaps even trying to import them this way directly from a web address. If you want to import resources into Krita then there are two “official” ways to import the different resource types. You import bundled resources, so files with the file name extension `bundle`, `ABR`, `ASL`, like described in this template: > A bundle is imported into Krita via the menu ‘‘Settings’’ \>\> ‘‘Manage Resource Libraries…’’ and in the opening dialog you have to click the button + Import in the next dialog browse to the downloaded bundle, select it and confirm the selection. Now Krita imports that bundle, and you can use its content, so the brushes in case of this bundle. Single brushes, or an unbundle bunch of them are imported like this template describes: > For loose, not bundled resources like a single `brush tip`, a `brush preset`, a `pattern`, it works as follows: > You import loose resources via the menu `Settings` \> `Manage Resources...` where you then have to click on the button `Import Resources` and then browse to the downloaded resources to select and then import them into Krita with a click on the OK-Button. This template describes how to handle archived/zipped resources, that is sometimes needed to be able to import them: > For both types of resources the following is true: > You have to download them first to your device, no matter if it is a tablet or a PC, Mac, whatever, and save them in a folder where you can access them later. If the resource is shipped in a `ZIP`, `7ZIP`, `7Z`, `RAR`, or whatever else archive file container, you must unpack (often referred to as “unzipping”) them first from the archive before you can import them into Krita with one of the above described methods.

not the person you asked, but i downloaded the one offed by one of the commenters and it looks like nothing they show, maybe brush engine changes over the versions have modify old brushes presets, this is not the first time this happens to me with other brushes i download from other people, they look like nothing they show ---

Did you check the brush tip in the brush editor? I’ve had problems in the past where the tip hadn’t been loaded in my system and I had to change it. ---

yep, same tip, it has weird behavior with the speed, i change to windows ink brush speed in pen settings on krita settings instead of default and it fixed it a bit but its still all mess up 😕 ---

What if you try what’s on this post? > [@Problems with some brushes (downloaded)](https://krita-artists.org/t/problems-with-some-brushes-downloaded/182526/6): > > It is a strange seldom behavior, but fixable. With the probably two brushes from this bundle that show this error you need to open the brush editor via the shortcut F5 go on the top most option “Brush Tip” and then make the brush tip 1 pixel larger. Then choose the button “Overwrite Brush Preset” in the upper right and in the next dialog click on save. That’s it.
