Reply To: Troubles with painting across certain islands in 3d viewport

I switched off the subdiv mod and noticed that the offended faces look like their normals are backwards. But the shading is much different to that of the rest of the body.

Here’s how it looks with the subdiv on. I’m wondering if there is something happening elsewhere judging by that edge loop that runs around in the inside of the armpit that causes differing shading on either side?
