Step 4: Retouch the Shoulder

After you have created the joint that will fill the gap between the torso and the upper arm, you have to add the line art that will cover the joint.

To retouch the shoulder:

1. In the Timeline window, select the “upper arm” element.

2. Drag the red frame slider to the first frame in the scene. At frame 1, the gap between the torso and the upper arm is its greatest. Correcting the drawing at this frame should fix the error for the duration of the animation.

3. From the Drawing Tools toolbar, select the Brush tool.

4. From the Properties window, click the Color Palette tab, select the “line” swatch from the “tania” palette.

5. Use the Brush tool to draw the line art over the shoulder.

6. Click Play and watch the shoulder. If there are any problems in your line art, undo what you did and try again. Click Stop to stop the playback before you try to redo your work.
