I draw this arc using pen tool in illustrator



Now I want to apply an image to the pen tool. So I click on "draw inside" then File -> Place, select an image and paste it onto the arc.



Above is what I see. I want to apply image to the arc itself (black line), not to the space above it... how to fix this problem?

Thanks in advance!

Now in your case you want to expand the path by choosing Object → Expand...
