Are there any plug-ins that allow for conversion of photo portraits to line drawings?

I’ve tried Flaming Pear’s India Ink’s Mezzotints, etc., as well as a tutorial on Planet Photoshop, but can’t get the effect I want.

See below for the newspaper effect I’m trying to mimick.

Thanks much for any tips.

That’s hand drawn, there was a good thread that covered a few ways to make something similar happen about two years ago.

Have you tried a search of topics?

Yes, search on line drawings, etc. Zilch.

They are ABSOLUTELY hand drawn. There are methods which can be used to simulate the look of those hand-rendered drawings, but none I’ve seen are as good as the real thing.

Some of the more red-blooded fellas here may enjoy viewing the work of Noli Novak <http://www.nolinovak.com/index2.html>, who has been doing stipple portraits for the Wall Street Journal and other publications for almost 20 years. She’s also the lead singer of a band called Novakseen <http://www.novakseen.com>. And quite the hottie!

Have you tried the Andromeda Screens plug-in? Very similar results, many screens to choose from. The control you have depends on the time you’re willing to spend to make selections and screen various areas separately. If you’re on an Intel Mac, be sure to ask for the patch.

Renee:

Thanks for the tip. Their "Cutline" plugin seems to come pretty close to what I’m attempting.

Kindest regards.
