I have to edit a pencil drawing. I scanned the drawing, traced the bitmap and obtained an image similar to this:
How can I fill the areas marked in the diagram with a fill or gradient? (The lines shown in red are Objects, not Strokes).

As long as the objects/lines form enclosed shapes (and have no gaps), you could use the bucket fill tool. If there are open areas/areas with gaps that you want to fill, you could just draw some lines to close them with the Pencil or the Bézier tool.
The Bucket fill tool options has a Close Gaps function, but sometimes it doesn't work so well. For the best results ensure that all areas you want to fill are closed.

Sorry but this does not work. using the fill and stroke tool causes a coloured outline to be drawn within my own outline. it does not fill the are surrounded by the line. I am working from a trace of a scan of a hand done ink drawing, not from a shape created by a shape tool, or a beziere tool. This coloured outline eventually swamps my own brush drawing and I lose it.irritating on both counts. Commented Sep 1, 2020 at 12:54
