Can't edit or do anything with my file

[CALEB356274294p5k]

I've been trying to create some artwork on illustrator for a college project, it works fine, I save it, open it and can't seem to paint/draw or even erase anything in my project. I've had this problem before, don't know what it's called and I can't find the solution anywhere. I am sure someone here might've had the same problem and could give me a few pointers, but I would very much appreciate help as soon as possible so I have plenty of time to finish this for college.

For those curious, it's not a masking layer or locked layer issue, it's something else but I'm not sure what.

can you share your file? or at least screenshots showing your art and the layers panel expanded

Hello @CALEB356274294p5k,

Thanks for reaching out. Would you mind sharing some more details, like the OS/Illustrator version, the exact steps of your workflow, and a screen recording of the problem (https://adobe.ly/44uXwiX), as Carlos suggested, so we can investigate this further?

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Thanks,

Anubhav
