    The top screen shot is from an older version of Photoshop. The Brushes panel was redesigned to use folders in 2018:

    Streamlined brush management

    Enhanced in the October 2017 release

    Working with brush presets is much easier in this release of Photoshop. You can now organize brush presets into folders—including nested folders—in the greatly-streamlined Brushes panel (renamed from Brush Presets in earlier releases).

    You can now choose to work with and manage brush-enabled tool presets and their attributes, accessible only from the Options bar in earlier releases of Photoshop, in the Brushes panel. Any brush-enabled tool preset can be converted into a brush preset; all of its attributes—such as opacity, flow, and blending mode—are preserved. Once you've converted brush-enabled tool presets into brush presets, you can choose to remove them from the tool presets list.

    Thanks. I'm used to the old one, can't seem to find all the old brushes in the new folders. In particular, can you direct me to the brushes that look like this?

    Is this a brush from the tutorial? Can you post a link to the tutorial, and note which minute/second it appears?

    It looks like a basic, round hard brush but it's not using the default settings. You can get this look by picking the first hard round brush in the general folder:

    Then set the color to Black, the Mode to Darken and lower the Opacity. Drag out a line, then reposition you mouse over the end point and click until it gets dark enough.
