I have parented a grease pencil drawing to a bone and when I try rotating the bone they don't rotate around the same path. What am I missing? This has worked for me once but then it never worked again so I am at a loss of ideas on what might be wrong.

Starting position start position

After rotation after rotation

Update: Blender file can be found at

Please let me know if I need to provide the blender file too.

  • $\begingroup$ I don't know anything about rigging grease pencil, but are you sure the small bone doesn't influence your object? $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ I believe not. It is set up for InverseKinematics only. It doesn't have any parent associated. $\endgroup$

This issue happens because your Grease Pencil object has transform data (location).

enter image description here

To fix this: first, in the Stroke tab, unparent the armature from your layer, otherwise the layer will move when you apply the new position.

enter image description here

Then use Ctrl+A or open the object menu and apply the necessary transforms (in this case, location). After this, your location data should revert to 0 but your drawings will stay in the same position. Then, parent the layers to the armature bones again.
