Hi.

I've got a character that I cut and pasted a leg from a layer that had both legs on it. So now each leg is on its own layer.
When pasting into the new layer, it comes in without the fill color. (If it matters, I used the blob brush for the fill color.)

So I created another layer below the line to add the fill underneath the lines. Then I cut the fill and pasted it into the line layer and moved it to the back of that layer.

When I move the leg with the bones, the fill doesn't follow the lines exactly. I think it's due to the points in the line art not being the same as the points in the fill art, even though they're on the same layer. So I thought the fix was to make an action.

Unfortunately, in the actions layer, I can't move the leg into the position that I need to see in order to fix it.

There's no way to add points in the action timeline so I tried to add them in the main timeline. No dice!

Whenever I go to the main timeline I can only add points in frame zero and in that frame the leg is straight, so I can't put points only on the fill.

There must be a way to do this, but I've tried all I know how to do. Hope there's an easy fix.

Thanks.

You can only add (and delete) points in frame 0. (Same goes for complete shapes.)

Usually I create 1 leg complete with the correct fill colour in 1 layer, then duplicate that layer and mirror the artwork inside. Only after that I start with rigging.

This would make me think a point got missed when copying, or that the fill was shared with another shape.

Understood (about only adding/deleting points in frame zero).
Unfortunately, frame zero has both legs straight and I can only see the problem when the leg is bent. So there's no way to add points.

I think in this case I'll just have to redraw the legs from scratch. I was using an older design which had both legs on one layer and cutting out one leg to paste into its own layer.

Not a big problem. Just thought there might be a way to salvage this one.

Thanks.

I think you're right. I think the only thing to do here is do both legs from scratch.
Thanks.
