	so i'm guessing you have the pen tool on paths rather than shape layers? what i do, if i have that option clicked, is ctrl+click (right click) inside the area that you made and select FILL ! ``) i hope this helps, if you haven't found help, yet. Oh, wait. are you using photoshop? Ahaha... because my description is for photoshop. if you're using illustrator, just click on the fill box in the tool bar and pick a color. then make your shape into a live color group, or whatever it's called, with the paint bucket, and fill it in ! make sure you have the stroke on nothing, in case you don't want outlines. if you're using another program... then, sorry, i can't help. ``/

	hmm this is the best thing i can think of to help you: http://www.deviantart.com/view/29173597/ that's for photoshop btw. But Illustrator (which is what I use) is the same in a lot of ways, and different in ways such out how to manipulate the points, fill, no fill and stroke... So it depends on the program :) also check out any of the tutorials listed on www.vexels.net. (http://www.vexels.net/tutorials.php). hope that helps :D
