Issue with Painting Skin Weights

[Anonymous]

Hi there! This is my first time painting skin weights but I'm running into a bit of a problem
Would anyone be able to help me?  Here's footage of the issue:

Thanks! Help is much appreciated 😆

This happens because you have "normalize weight " set to " Interactive " so whenever you paint zero skin weights it gets transferred to nearby joint. The easiest way to fix this is instead of painting zero with that leg joint paint a 100 % with the joint in that problem area like hip or back leg accordingly. 

If its not clear for you then let me know.

Happy Rigging
