    select the no-fill option in the toolsbar's color selection area. you will have two options - one to select the fill and another for stroke. Experiment and u'll learn fast!

    Before using the pen tool, deselect all objects on the page, set the fill color to none (box with a red diagonal stripe) and choose the stroke color you like (make sure your stroke weight is more than 0) and then click the pen tool in the toolbox if it hasn't been selected yet. Now when you start to draw, you won't get a fill.
