    I’m not saying I can’t use one I created.

    im saying I can’t create one. I can use custom

    brushes I imported from 2018 version.

    can you try to actually create a new pencil tool brush frkma custom shape?

    Yes. It doesn't matter how I created it either---with the Pencil Tool, Brush Tool, a custom shape from the Custom Shape Tool or any other method for that matter. Photoshop CC 2019 allows me to define a brush preset at that point using Edit > Define Brush Preset command, where I am then able to use the Pencil Tool with that brush.

      this:

      "

      Create a brush tip from an image

      •     
        Using any selection tool, select the image area you want to use as a custom brush. The brush shape can be up to 2500 pixels by 2500 pixels in size.

            

      •     
        Choose Edit > Define Brush Preset.

      •     
        Name the brush, and click OK."

        is not working, thats precisely what im saying.

      Ah, OK.

      Does it not perform the command at all? Defining a brush requires the image being used have some sort of grayscale equivalence. (I think I'm wording that right.) e.g., An image that contains black will appear white in the brush and vice versa.

      Do you want to just save the brush? With the Brushes panel open > click the options menu (in the upper right) > New Brush Preset.

      apologies. no, im not describing the problem correctly.

      I have selected a shape with my lasso tool, in black and would like to define the shape as a brush.

      that option isnt possible in the 2019 version for some reason
