As tutorials go, this one is a bit ‘thin on the ground’ and, frankly, a bit confusing.
It might be better if you can flesh out your method with more explanation and maybe include some screenshots to show what you are doing.
Otherwise, from my perspective, it may not be much use to anyone who needs good and clear instructions.

Note: Photo has had “New Brush from Selection” functionality since 1.9, which you may want to look at.

@GarryP Thank you for your feedback. Not everyone understand how everyone thinks. I wrote it in a way that I understand and wish other people wrote it. I will take into consideration adding images. 

Thank you!

The instructions from Affinity may help more.

Artist Wright on YouTube has some in depth tutorials on creating Affinity vector and pixel brushes. Excellent.

Can anyone share specific tips or settings they use when creating new brushes in Affinity Photo or Designer? I’d love to learn more advanced techniques

@nehakakar You're welcome. Both video tutorials are very good. I'm not sure why only video is displayed as an "image", but there are two brush tutorials, so be sure to click both links.
