Why are the inside edges not filled and only the center being filled? I tried all the settings but Im not fixing it at all.

Do I need to manually fill in the inside edges? Is there another tool I should use instead of the bucket tool? If yes, how would I use the tool and what would the tool be? And lastly, are there any methods I should use to do future bucket fills?

(also fyi- i even tried to do the fill on the same layer as the shape as well as on a seperate layer. Same issue happened with each attempt)

Can you show the screenshot of the tool option docker and possibly full krita screen when the fill tool is active? I think you are using the shaped gradient but I am not sure hence asking for a screenshot.

Okay so you are having feather set to 26 pixel. set it to 0 and it will be working as expected.

Thanks . It fills it entirely, thanks.

By the way, what does " feather " “grow” “spread” and “threshold do” when using te bucket tool? Krita’s doc is very confusing to me.

Create an enclosed area and test it, that is the best way to learn what it will do, because then you can see what happens.

  • Feather - softens the boundaries of the selection of the fill. Instead of fill right to the end of the selection it will soften the fill till the edge.

  • Grow - As the name suggests it will increase the fill by given pixels on all sides of the boundary. This comes in handy when you are colouring line art and you want the colour to go under the line art rather than till the line art. It is a good way to avoid white lines between the colour and the line art.

  • Threshold - When you click over an area fill tool checks the underlying colour and fills till it encounters that colour or transparency. For example if you have a gradient of black to white and you click on the white portion fill tool will stop filling when the underlying colour stops being white. To determine at what percentage the fill tool should stop filling you give it a threshold value.

  • Spread - works like threshold but it determines how far the opacity of the filled colour should be. It is hard to describe here you can check the documentation which has good example images
