Here we go! Start with the bear, add a new raster layer naming it body, #886338 for the outline, the paintbrush with these settings

Using the same outline color and a lighter fill color #CCAC82 make the inner ears, muzzle, a little pad on his hand, and the bottoms of his feet.
Add a new raster layer and make his overalls, I used #4F6D7B for the outline, #7596A5 for the fill color
and then his shirt on the same layer, #C9BFAD for the outline, #E8E4DC for the fill color
"layers" "merge" "merge visible" and heres what you have so far

and choose a darker color, I used #2C4D5C, to add to the shirt
Add a new raster layer, change your brush size to about 14 and your color to #DD6D57, paint two cheeks

turn the opacity of this layer down to 35 or 40
layers, merge, merge visible
