Brush Preview
To make things less confusing in this very confusing world, we ask for uploaded brushes to have a standard preview.
Look at the other brushes in the BlenderKit database to get a better idea.
You can also use the 'brush preview template' option in the Scene section of BlenderKit.
Thanks for being a sport!
