I am following along in the "Creating an Icon" Project in the Illustrator Basics course, and working with Adobe's "Creative Tryout" version of Illustrator. My shapes are showing up on the layer, but when I make changes to the fill/stroke, they are not displayed on the artboard. I can see the changes have been correctly made in the toolbars, but my icon is not shaping up correctly. Is this something strange about the Creative Tryout version or am I somehow missing a step?

Courses Plus Student 2,252 PointsYou are in what is called "Outline" view (cmd+y). If you use the keyboard shortcut (cmd+y) it should take you to back to the normal view where you can see your styling changes.
In case you forget the keyboard shortcut you can always see the option under VIEW menu. It will be the first option in the list.
Hope this helps!
