I have no idea about anything to do with illustrator really, but I'm wondering how I can like, create a layer in between these two black lines I've made using the pen tool, so that I can fill it with a colour. I dunno... Any help appreciated

too many nodes. You could draw that shape with about 6. Get used to the node tools. They will sort your skills right oot.
