For this tutorial you will need 

Paint Shop Pro

The Following Colour Chart 
Save and then open in PSP.
Ok we are ready to start.

Set your Foreground to colour 1 on the outline colour chart (#BA7848) and start at whichever point you prefer. I find it easier to start the highest point, in this case his ear. (You can move the image later using your move tool if you need to).
