System Information
Operating system: macOS-14.2.1-arm64-arm-64bit 64 Bits
Graphics card: Metal API Apple M1 Max 1.2

Blender Version
Broken: version: 4.2.0 Alpha, branch: main, commit date: 2024-03-10 18:36, hash: 703353b5dafc
Worked: unknown

Short description of error
The toolbar icon for draw sharp in sculpting shows outward displacement. However the default behaviour for the brush is set to direction: subtract, and this displaces inward.

Also it is a bit confusing that draw and draw sharp use opposite directions. The easiest fix would be to set the direction to 'add' by default for the draw sharp brush.

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error
Goto sculpt mode
Look at the toolbar icon and see how it sculpts by default.

Hi, we can indeed change the brush direction to match with the icon. But that's more a decision upto module. If we do this, make sure to change the manual description as well

Some context:
The brush behaviour is as intended. The icon is outdated.
The brush asset project will soon replace the icons with new thumbnails. So this issue is essentially addressed with #104476 and will solve itself within a couple releases.
