Square GIMP Brushes (For GIMP 2.6)

Description

SQUARES!!! Why are they not in GIMP by default? I'm talking about solid ones, not the odd hollow ones. I know you can make them in GIMP's brush editor like I did in this pack, but still, there's not a single solid square besides a 1x1 pixel. :P

This is a full set of Square Brushes that perfectly match GIMP's default circle brush set + my expansion found here: fav.me/d4t3buf . So the brushes included in this pack are sized (by pixels) as: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15, 17, 19, 23, 27, 31, 37, 45, 53 and 61.

Simply place these .VBR brush files into the "Brushes" folder of GIMP's file directory and they will be ready for use! Where that is on your system depends on how it was installed of course, but the typical file path is:

C: > Program Files > Gimp-2.0 > Share > gimp > 2.0 > Brushes

To remove them from GIMP (Or just the ones you don't want), just take them out of the brushes folder and/or delete them.

Bonus tip: If you want them all to be grouped together neatly without those hollow square brushes spacing them apart, just rename them in GIMP by adding "Hollow" to the beginning of those six brushes and they'll all stack together nicely. This works because GIMP orders the brushes in alphabetical order automatically.

Enjoy!

If how far these are "stamping" aren't what you are looking for in your digital work, please give my "Painting Squares" a try as they paint with much smoother brushstrokes due to me setting them to have lower brush spacing. You can find those here: fav.me/d5dn3of .
