Freehand sketching continents
I have an issue with creating continents/landmasses. I am working off several old maps of mine made in MS Paint and Corel paintshop, but since I cannot import them, I had to trace them manually by comparing grid coordinates. what I found was that the create landmass tool was entirely not precise enough to replicate the smoothness of the continent shores that I managed to create previously. Thus, I resorted to freehand sketching, but then I learnt that for some reason I could not fill the perfect landmass with colour. instead, it just sat there, transparent with only its borders visible. I require assistance to figure this out.

I suspect you only drew the coastline as a path and not a closed polygon. Try to using Path to Polygon (right-click the Explode button) on the coastline to see whether that makes a color show up. If not, post your map here and we'll help you fix it.
