closing a line to get an object

 

Hi,

Hope you are having a good day? Was wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction, I drew this image with lines and not need to emboss the image, but in order to emboss the image it need to have closed vectors, when i close the path on the image on the right i get the image on the left which isn't what i want can anyone please let me know the best way to go about doing this.

Thank you

Beres
