In corners where two lines meet, the fill bucket tool often doesn’t fill in the corners. If I turn up grow, then it goes outside the lineart when it fills the corner. And if I turn up threshold, it doesn’t work when I’m filling in stuff that’s not completely black and white like shadows. Do I have to fill in the corners manually?
Hello @ShatteredReality, and welcome to the forum!
That is at least the option I usually use when there are not so many of them. I just enlarge the canvas and click into the empty corners to fill them, yes it would better if that was not needed, but I’m quite fast doing it.

Hello @ShatteredReality and welcome
Can you post a closeup screenshot of a corner that won’t fill and also a screenshot of the Tool Options docker when that fill was tried?
It could be caused by anti-aliasing spread on the lineart.
It’s a tight corner and there is lineart anti-aliasing spread, which doesn’t help.
It looks like there is a small isolated island in the tight corner so Grow is all that can deal with that.
The Reference is the Merged image which is understandable if the colouring layer is separate from the lineart layer.
There is good contrast in the image so if you increase the Threshold that may improve the situation without needing to use Grow.
Often, in these situations, varying the Tool Options settings is needed for some tricky local situations, or making a second click on the difficult area.
Looking at the Tool Options docker, you’re not using the latest version of krita, 5.2.2, so you might want to try that in case there has been an improvement in Fill Tool behaviour in this area.

Okay, I will do that!

There is a new option in the grow that stops growing at the most dark/opaque pixels. It is used to not overflow the lines if you choose a large grow value greater than the line thickness. The availability will depend on the krita version you are using, since it is a recent feature:
b) uses no grow, c) uses grow without the stopping, d) uses grow with the stopping option

Okay thanks I’ll turn that on!
Hello @ShatteredReality
Are you using different layers for outline and filling?
If yes or not,
You can try these steps,
- Increasing canvas resolution
- Increase the value of Threshold
Hope it will helpful
