Good color palette, usable for the color blind. But it seems odd that given how common some forms of colour-blindness are there are not websites that just list convenient palettes. It feels like reinventing the wheel each time. |

Recreating pencil hatching in Illustrator PS I've edited the question to explain that straight line where the smudging stops, it's where I cropped the scan. |

Recreating pencil hatching in Illustrator Thanks user568458; this is exactly the kind of answer I love: pithy, careful, and informative instructions but also richer information that'll help me understand the problem and the tools better. |

Why can I only see a path when it's not white? Thanks @Scott that works. With transparency grid visible I can see the white strokes and fill without needing to add additional rectangles as background. |

Why can I only see a path when it's not white? @Farray - thanks for Update 2. By "Create a layer with your green fill background" do you mean add a green rectangle to the layer and have the layer below the layers with the paths in? If so then it is showing up when I export, even set to template. |

Why can I only see a path when it's not white? @Farray, thanks for the debugging tips. Unfortunately I only have Illustrator on this machine so it will take some setting up. Do you buy Monika's point about process white following the paper colour? I've added it to the end of the question. |

Why can I only see a path when it's not white? Under Windows > Attributes the overprint attributes are unchecked. White fills are not visible either, I should have mentioned that. I'll edit the question. |

Why can I only see a path when it's not white? @Farray I cannot find overprint settings, but the overprint preview is not turned on (it's set to pixel preview) |
