creative explorer, it's a standart behavior on Pencil tool - then Fille new pencil strokes in OFF.

If you turn off this option and start draw, the Illy need to set fill to none - otherwise it fill the foreground color. Best regards, Kioto Mr.

And when you apply a stroke, does it then keep that for the next strokes? 

In the menu of the Appearance panel, is "New art has basic appearance" turned on?

Hello @TOLGA38021460on60,

We understand that technical issues can be frustrating. I hope Monika's suggestions helped resolve the problem. If not, kindly share more details, like the exact version of the OS/Illustrator and a screen recording of the problem (https://adobe.ly/3YhxbEb) so we can investigate this further.


Looking forward to hearing from you.

 

Thanks,

Anubhav

@TOLGA38021460on60  that's weird. After selecting the pencil tool, for me, it's a black stroke with 100% opacity on. You could just stroke it yourself? If you also hit 'd' n your keyboard, it would automatically color the fill with white and stroke to black...but once you start to draw with the pencil tool, the white fill will change to none!
