Hello,
Your current approach will not lead to a picture that resembles the tone and color of the original.
I attached some pictures to explain something to you about the working-method of Ingres.
This is a study by Ingres for the painting you copied. When you see this drawing you will notice that it's made on a coloured piece of paper. Dark areas/ shadows are drawn on the brown paper, and the paper itself functions as a mid-tone. The lighter areas are drawn with white chalk (I think). But most important is that this gives an
idea of the relation between the colour of the paper (or the canvas when one would paint) and the way one draws and paints on such a coloured paper or canvas.
