Paintbrush not working properly

Hi,

I am trying to use the paintbrush tool on illustrator and as I am drawing, the colour is coming up correctly. However as soon as I let go of my cursor the colour turns into a black line instead. 
I have checked all the layers and none are locked.

any help would be greatly appreciated. 
thank you.

I can't see anything on that video. Please make proper screen videos. All systems allow that.

 

What are you doing exactly and what do you expect to happen?

Hello @Chloe25406371j4q6,

 

Sorry to hear about this experience. I would request you to check if the problem occurs with other documents as well. If yes, try resetting Illustrator's preferences by following the steps shared in this article (https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/kb/troubleshoot-preference-issues.html) and sharing your observations.
Disclaimer: Please note that resetting preferences will remove all custom settings, and Illustrator will launch with the defaults. You may take a backup of these settings from the location mentioned in the article.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

 

Thanks,
Anubhav
