Yes, it all comes with practice, 20 minutes to make this outline path. It might take you an hour but it is your masterpiece
While you can keep and modify selections as a channel, a path can be more easily modified for those well defined areas. Save as a Gimp .xcf and re-visit your work at a later date.
Rather than waste that path, the svg is attached. Load it by right click in the paths dialogue and 'import path' Path to Selection, Invert Selection, Edit -> Cut.
...but I do expect you to make your own.
