Shannon, I prefer to use Agfa 118 surface or David Lewis' paper available
through the Formulary for bromoil. I slight tooth work great. Frisket,
Drafting tape, patience and practice. Cotton balls, not polyester puffs,
tooth picks, and brushes. 

Slight sepia as suggested does add a nice starting point with some
portraiture, but lighter the better I think. 
Have fun.
