How do you easily fill the space within an object?

I drew a sketch and am trying to color it in. I scanned the original image and vectorized it. Since the sketch itself is an object, the white spaces in-between that I am trying to fill are not considered shapes. How can I easily convert these into shapes or objects? Thank you in advance for your input.

    This is a good use for Live Paint.

    Select all, Then Object > Live Paint > Make

    From there, you can use the Live Paint Bucket to fill your white areas with color.

    Simply you can use the Image Trace technique to convert it to Shapes.
    Window > Image trace.
    Then, you can use the Live Paint Bucket to color the in-between spaces.
