Overlapping body shape segments negating fill

[Matthew]

There is probably a ridiculously easy solution to this, but when I have parts of a shape within the same vector layer that overlap, the fill color overlapping area disappears. Think of a ven diagram- the area shared by two shapes will have no fill. I've seen examples in the tutorials provided where this doesn't always happen, but I cannot for the life of me figure out why it happens on my shapes. Any thoughts?

Here's a helpful tutorial that discusses this issue (among other things):

Basically, if you have a shape that needs to bend back and overlap itself, you need to break it up into multiple shapes.
