mask stroke is not visible

posted to: Basic Blockout

at 9:11 you start drawing a mask on top of the shark to make the fin. When I draw the mask my mask stroke isn't even visible

    What version of Blender are you using? 

    These are the hotkeys I've got you can try. 

    Shift + LMB + Click to Select to mask

    ctrl + I    to invert Mask                                                                                                                                                                                           

    alt + M    Clear Mask

    Hi patdoc, the Mask is an Overlay that (unfortunately!) has a Toggle shortcut: CTRL+M..

    You are not the first to accidentally have turn of the mask visibility;)

    I tried looking in the overlay dropdown and i've tried all of those shortcuts but I still cant seem to clearly be able to draw a mask on my object. do you have any other ideas?

    I might suggest asking Kent  @theluthier

    I didn't know that had a shortcut...I've no doubt done this myself and not realized it.
