Pencil size 2 is the same as pencil size 3?

Then select the pencil and in the Tool Options, click to select a brush and go up in the brushes' dropdown menu and select the very first brush at the top called Clipboard image (this brush is so little that you might see only a white square, just click on it)



Now you have your 2 pixels brush

It's a bit inefficient though.. are there any other ways to do it? (like actually using the pencil tool for different sizes) Anyways thanks for telling me!

In the image below enlarged with 2656%, all three points were made with the same brush (several clicks on the same point to reinforce the result).

But the OP wanted a 2x2 brush and I can't get the "1. Pixel" brush to show an outline of anything other than 3x3 when the size is set to 2 - regardless of where the cursor is. Of course they could use the "1. Pixel" brush set to a size of 1 and click 4 times to get a 2x2 but it would be easier to use the other brush :-)

Got it, you're absolutely right!

Attached, I provide a brush that can produce both 1x1 and 2x2 results, etc.

How do I import the brush into Gimp?

Um... May be it's too easy ➤ Just go to the Tool Options and change the size like any other brushes

You don't need... If you have read the comment properly, you would have seen that @programmer_ceds, @krikor, @rich2005 and I did spoke about it...
You and all of us already have the brush you're interested in, installed with GIMP by default. It's called "Pixel" (IT IS NOT the one called "1.Pixel")

No worries, you're not alone, me neither I did not catch it like I said in my post #10

I didn't know about that brush either. My brush tool selection doesn't look like the image above, it is in a different order. I found "Pixel" by switching to list mode which is alphabetical.
