1.  Open a transparent canvas of  100 x 120 pixels.  This should give us plenty of room to work with.  Flood fill this layer with white and then create a second raster layer, this is the layer that we will be drawing on so make sure it is the active layer by clicking on it.

2.  Pick your paintbrush, set at size one and using color #B56510, (or a color of your choice) draw the outline by following the picture.

3.  Pick your flood fill tool (the bucket) and making sure the the 'sample merged box is checked, fill in all of your teddy.  
I used color #EAC092.
