Just remember you are not in a hurry. Take your time, enjoy the process and the end result will surprise you.

One more question: What type of wood would you recommend (Cherry, Poplar, White Oak, etc.) and how thick should it be?

On portraits, you will want to use a plywood.  Usually oak or baltic birch. 1/8 to 1/4".

I would recommend a good quality baltic birch plywood 1/8 to 1/4" for you first portrait. I find it easy to work with and looks good.  8)
