Once you've brought it in you can try the trace on it, will give you a vectorised version you can apply fills etc too. (path>trace bitmap (Shift+Alt+B))

Is there a way to import a drawing into Inkscape ?
It can definitely be done with PNG images. File > Import.
Scanned images will probably be TIFFs. If Inkscape can't import them directly, you can convert them with the convert(1) program in the ImageMagick package.

Guys
I have just tried scanning a line drawing with the GIMP, saving as a .gif, then opening in Inkscape, tracing it and it worked fine - allowed me to edit the lines, fill, etc.
Hope that may be an option for you.
