Ricky, project files come with lean squared package. We plan to release brushes for free for all students this weekend. Some of those brushes are available in my full-brush package I released last year:

I might need to re-record it after whole course is finished. I was testing noise-cancelling and wasn't happy but might have forgotten to tick it off in 1-2 videos. It will get fixed, thanks for pointing it out.
