    Default Why is my graphic not fully filling in?

    Hi !

    if anyone can help me with this problem, I used the pen anchor to trace out a dress shirt from one side than did a refect of the graphic and adjusted both sides pretty sure all the anchors are closed. Than went to my swatchs and put a color into it and a weird diamond shape of white is still there, when i am trying to fill the whole thing in red.

    Looks as if your are trying to do the jacket as one shape so it wont close? If I was doing this drawing I would do one side only, then make a copy of that and then use the Transform and reflect the shape vertically. do the same for the back but maybe after using transform you could use the Pathfinder to join both sides, it would depend if you wanted a seam down the back. all the sleves could be done the same way.
    Design is thinking made visual.

    Here's a new version.

    You are not fully closing the paths. Look at the top at the collar, the bottom at the hem line, etc. Use wireframe mode.

    I deleted the pattern layer so I could upload it here (smaller file size).

    Take care, Mike
