I can't see line while i'm drawing with brush or pencil

[IsabelSW]

When I'm drawing with brush or pencil tool, I can't see stroke line until I release the mouse. I's so difficult drawing if I can't see that I'm drawing. What can I do for solver this? Thank you so much!

Which version and system is it?

Which brush are you using?

Are you using a Cintiq or the like?

Hello! I have Windows 10 and Illustrator 2020, the lastest version.
I'm using a simple brush, the first predeterminated. 
I draw with a Wacom Intuos 5.
Thank you!

It works but now animated zoom won't work. I don't want to choose between seeing my pencil and animated zoom. I need both.

Hello @roostertoons,

Could you share more details, like the OS/Illustrator version, if you're using a Tablet/Pen, and a small screen recording of the problem, so I can better assist you?

Also, if you're using Windows, try performing a clean reinstallation of the GPU(s) drivers (Intel / NVIDIA / AMD) and setting the Graphics Preference to High-Performance for Illustrator (https://adobe.ly/3Y4ZMLV) and share your observations.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

You could try if View > Preview on CPU has anything to do with it.

Also you could try out if Preferences > Performance (check or uncheckRealtime drawing) changes anything

And then you could try in showing or hiding the Info panel helps.

I am having the same problem with Adobe Illustrator 2020 and 2021. I tried both of these methods and nothing happened. I still can not see the stroke while I am drawing it.
