Thanks for the vid and also i was wondering how to color in something with the paint bucket easily. SE I have this black and white drwing I did and It only colors a section of the pic pleas help me

Assuming you're using cs2 and above. You select all the paths from your drawing, then while selected with the live paint bucket tool you hove over the drawing and you'll see a message saying "click to make a live paint group" click on it and then you can freely color in any enclosed space - Hope that helps
