Petal Anchor Points Not Snapping Correctly for Live Paint Bucket in Illustrator

Question

Hello, i really need your help with this. I have to draw a flower, but everytime when i place the anchor point on one flower petal, then duplicate the flower petals and choose the Live Paint Bucket to fill in all the petals it will not close on the anchor point. Anybody know how I can fix this?

Hi Jacob,

Today i solved the problem with the white lines:

I tried Object > Rasterize > and i changed the dpi from 300 to 72 + anti aliasing on. I did the same with the Object and Raster Effect settings. And i changed some things in Live Paint Options. This works for me!

Stefanie,

My suggestions on the avoidance of the white lines have been shaped by your mentioning PDF and SVG as end uses ("I Export the artwork to SVG, but the white lines are showing up on all my exports, also the PDF,").

I am afraid that rasterizing, especially at 72 PPI, will lead to unnecessary deterioration of quality, and limit the usability of the artwork.

If you go back to the original vector artwork:

What happens if you untick Anti-Aliased artwork in the General Preferences

Are the white lines still showing when you use Art Optimized in the settings in connexion with exporting (to raster formats)?

And how do you save/export to PDF and SVG?

If you zoom in closer and then roll over  with the Live paint tool ,do you then get additional highlights there that indicate areas you can fill?
