I am drawing a basic mountain shape using the pen tool creating many different lines for the inside of the shape. Then I need to colour the mountain in and easily change the colour, unfortunately I tried using the paint bucket which gave me awful lines and every time I re-coloured made the quality worse.


How do I use the pen tool efficiently to get no over hanging lines (so far trial and error if there is a better way please let me know)
How do I group all the lines I've use the make the mountain (best way)
How do I best colour the mountain


UPDATE: I have managed to combine the shapes now how do I colour it in?

From your screenshot, I can see that you're using Stroke only and not Fill.


Select the layer and click on the swatch next to Fill to choose a color and 'fill' the shape.

I recommend closing all shapes using the Pen tool so that you can control the full shape of the drawings. Meaning, connect the Starting point and the Ending point of each of your shapes.
For Grouping: You can either use the regular Layer Group command, i.e Select the layers you want to group, go to Layer > New > Group
Or you can have multiple shapes in one layer = By using the Path Selection tool, (A) , Clicking on a desired Shape, then cutting / pasting on on the desired layer. NOTE: These shapes will have the same layer properties i.e fill and stroke.
