Imagine if Michelangelo had this option

Essentially, the Photoshop brush tool is there to draw lines and shapes onto your designs using strokes. Using Photoshop brushes, you can create everything from different patterns and textures, and even change the lighting of your images.

Photoshop comes with a built-in set of brushes that you can use to add special effects to your photos. However, it's a sparse selection with only a few common styles. If you want more options, you can add more brushes to Photoshop and download them from third-party sites. Here's how to add and install brushes and use them in Photoshop.

To view your installed brushes, select the Brush tool in the Tools panel on the left. Right-click anywhere in your document to open the Brush Options window. Then select the gear icon to open a full list of brushes.
