This can really vary depending on what paint style you are trying to achieve.
here are a few options.


Paint with the brush, not with the paint bucket.
Duplicate the layer with the drawing and connect/fill the holes on
that layer, Then use the paint bucket.

In Photoshop, one technique concept artists use is to put your fill/paint on a layer below the linework. Simply draw (or scan) in a black and white image, then set the blend mode to multiply and lock it. All the white will be transparent, while the tonal info will remain.

Create a layer underneath and paint away. You can also set up a layer mask(s) to keep you painting inside the lines of specific areas. This is a good solution because your lines don't have to be closed and you can paint really quickly and rely on layer masks, which you only set up once at the start, to keep you in the lines.
