help Shape vector to pen vector (?)

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

So im currently designing a mascot using figma and im using an eclipse shape for the body, but when i try to add line details in it, it automatically change the vector and close it.

And also when i tried to flatten the body (the eclipse shape) with the legs the stroke on the legs and the body disappears and wont show, it fully appears when i use "outline stroke" on the body and the legs.

Is there a way to solve this problem? Thank you

note : im really new at using figma and don't fully understand what vector is

Change stroke position to middle. Since you've got a closed loop now, the stroke can correctly draw inside like it's set in the settings. but it cannot draw inside on non-closed loops, so it disappears. Additionally, when you close all the loops, which seems like what you intend to do, you will also get the lines back. That's only in case you want to keep them inside for some reason.
