Cannot see brush strokes while drawing

[joh74929423]

I recently just got a Wacom Intuos Pro tablet and I am trying to draw on illstrator using the brush tool. However, whenever I am in the motion of drawing I can't see what I'm drawing until I finish the stroke. I don't have this issue on Photoshop and I have seen videos where people on illustrator don't have this problem, yet I can't find the setting in preferences. How do I resolve this?

You should at least see a faint line.

With calligraphy brushes or bristle brushes you see the stroke.

Brushes in Illustrator work differently than Photoshop brushes, you can't compare them.

As Monika has said, you should see a faint dotted line when using brushes like charcoal. Illustrator cannot display certain brush strokes until the stroke is complete.

I too am having this problem

Switch to a calligraphy brush, you must be using one of the other type of grush such as an artbrush.

makes no difference 😞

I could not see my strokes until I turned off GPU acceleration.

This is a screenshot of the calligraphic brush preview and the finshed stroke

This is the art brush preview

did your pressure sensitivity not working as well? Resetting the illustrator preferences just worked for me
