Learning some new techniques and basics in flash

Learning flash
I had never used flash before so i decided to start from the bottom, with the basics, the first thing  i needed to learn was how to simply navigate my round flash, i also thought it was best to learn the hot keys for example b for brush(obvious)  or y for pencil not so obvious. I watched this video about how to draw mountains  and created my own, video below:
Here is my drawing of a mountain,  I used the techniques i learnt from this video.
I like the outcome of this piece of work, but what i also learnt from this video was how to shade using the pencil tool. This has helped me drastically, all you do is draw around the bit you want shaded, then use the paint bucket to fill in with a shade that is slightly lower or higher, to make the object look lighter or give it a shadow, now you have crapy pencil marks on your screen, no worry just highlight the area u want to get rid of, go into your colour swatch, click on the colour next to the pencil, then finally click this button(image below)
Below is a page of some of the drawings i created after watching this tutorial (trying to use shading)
