Live Paint Bucket Tool Error Message

Hi! When I want to fill in an object with color with the live paint bucket tool, the following message pops up: "Complex visual appearance attributes such as brushes, live effects, transparency and stroke alignment options may be lost when converting to a Live Paint group." 

 

When I click "OK", the lines of the object get smaller. There are no gaps in my drawing. What should I do to ensure nothing will be unintentially altered with my drawing? Aside from the color I chose to fill in the object. Thank you!

You perhapsused the brush tool to draw your objects. Then you will always draw with a calligraphy brush. The Live paint tool cannot handle that and converted it into a pain stroke. Just making it thicker is not an option?

 

And then also: if you do not need brushes on your strokes, use the pencil tool for drawing, not the brush.
