Use the selection tool to select the pants and then paint inside of the selection. The selection tool lets you draw the shape with a polygon lasso or paint the selection with a brush.

You can lock the transparency of a layer which allows you to “paint inside” anything on that layer. If the trousers are on their own layer it will work. If the entire illustration is on a single layer, you need to use the selection tool to protect the other areas while you paint. I hope this makes sense.
