I have the basic rendering of the body down now, and it is time to think about the background. As there is quite a contrast gradient in the image I will have a lock for a graded background reference, but I expect I will go for a graded tone. I am pretty please with how this has turned out, though some of the detail does seem to get lost in the soft edges produced by tooth of the paper. I chose this paper partly to give a softer finish so I shouldn't be surprised.
