I am creating a vexel portrait in Illustrator. For the shading areas I am using a 5% opacity for each shape that I draw w/ the pen tool. But I find that I have to set the opacity back to 5% for each shape that I draw. How can I avoid doing this and just 5% opacity for all of the shapes. Note: I don't want to set 5% opacity for shapes I have drawn, but the shapes that I am going to draw. Thanks.

Make certain "New Art Has Basic Appearance" is not checked in the Appearance Panel menu.

Appearance Panel

This will allow newly drawn objects to retain appearance settings as you draw.
