Beyond the Basics Line Drawn Shape not filling properly

    I have created a drawing using lines. When I try to fill the shape only parts of it are filled.  I would like to be able to fill all the parts inside the drawing and none of the parts outside the drawing. Can someone help me figure it out?

    Perhaps would it be simplier to duplicate this big path, remove all nodes but the outline* to get a white silhouette and put it under and remove the fill of your path.

    * or you could try to draw a rectangle bigger than your path, duplicate your path and select rectangle and the duplicate and do path > difference (not sure it would work nicely, your path is complex) then break apart the result to get the silhouette.

    You can upload your svg if you want us to help you.

    This is the svg. I'm not sure how to duplicate it.
