    Question Illustrator: Bucket filling around continental borders?

    Morning all;

    I am currently working on a planetary map for a game setting, and I have run into a problem...
    I'm trying to fill a layer (containing line art describing coastal paths) with a shade, trying NOT to include the areas inside the 'continents' I have drawn on the layer. At the moment, my best effort is to have filled the continental areas with the shade in question (not the effect I'm trying to achieve); alternatively, I can fill the WHOLE LAYER with the shade I'm attempting to use, but I have yet to figure out how to exclude the continental areas from the bucket fill.

    If I can select & fill the areas (I am attempting to designate as "ocean") around the continents with the shade I'm looking for this will make the process of developing the ocean side of the map so much easier. I hope I've described the process I'm trying to duplicate accurately enough.

    Anyways, I'll try to figure this out on my own, but if someone out there could throw a hint at me it would be a great help.

    Carry on,
