For this tutorial you will need

Ok we are ready to start.
REMEMBER TO SAVE OFTEN
Step 1:
This is the outline we will be making. Mine has been resized a lot so you can see it clearly.
To make this easier I have numbered all pixels over 1.
Open a new image 100 x 100 transparent.
Select the brush tool with the following settings.
Size: 1 - Hardness, Opacity and Density: 100
Zoom in to about 800% - 1000%
Set your foreground to colour 1 on the outline colour chart (#713709) 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).
When you get to his feet and inside ears (coloured lighter on the screen shot) change to colour 3 on the outline colour chart (#C6974E)
Step 2:
When your outline is complete, select your magic wand and click inside the head. Hold down your shift key and click inside the single pixel in his ear on the right too. See screen shot below.
Select colour 2 (#A56318) on your bear colour chart, or a colour of your choice and flood fill that selection.
Keep selected.
