Set your foreground to colour 1 on the colour chart (#000000) and start by drawing the top of the penguins head. Change colours as you go along.
You can use your mover tool to move it later if you need to.

When you have drawn the 1st part of the outline as shown above continue with the outline shown below. 
The inner body outline is colour 3 on the colour chart (#CDCDCD). The cheeks outlines are colour 4 on the colour chart (#F6CECE) and the beak and feet outlines are colour 6 on the colour chart (#E68020).
