When I go to paint for my Spaceman drawling I can not see where I have painted until I let go of the mouse. In the video he's painting in an almost "Live preview". How would I turn this on?
John Faught
3,484 PointsYes! When I paint with it I can not see where I have gone or anything until after I left off the mouse.

Treehouse Guest TeacherIf you are using an Art brush or a Pattern brush you will only see a dotted blue line until you release the mouse. As for the other brushes you should see all paths in real time.
John Faught
