    This may vary depending on the keyboard layout you are using.

    For example on German layouts the default keys are < and > to increase or decrease.

    Go to Edit > Keyboard Shortcuts and check what keys are used in your version.

      That's the Liquify tools, but not the brush tool.

              Increase size of Blob Brush

              ] (right square bracket)

              ] (right square bracket)

              Decrease size of Blob Brush

              [ (left square bracket)

              [ (left square bracket)

              Default keyboard shortcuts for Illustrator

              Works on brush also, but does not have a preview of size as in Photoshop.
