Beginners' Questions Problem with fill bucket
  1. #1
    Egor Egor @Egor_R6

    When I fill in the shape, it tends to not cover the whole shape from angle to angle, and it leaves gaps. When I try to fill again those gaps, it leaves again a small gap. How could I resolve this problem?

    I'd use the bucket tool controls (top of window when tool is selected) to expand the fill, then send it behind the lines.

    This might be a case for the Shape Builder tool. 

    Select your outline paths.
    Duplicate [ctrl+d].
    Activate the Shape Builder [x].
    [click] the areas you want to fill.
    [enter] to finish.
    Set the fill colour.
