Turning a photo into a pen drawing

[Hiswife]

Hi, I've played around with different tutorials about turning a photograph into a pen/pencil drawing.

For example : here is one tutorial I tried : http://www.melissaevans.com/tutorials/create-basic-line-art-from-your-photos

Wondering if you have a favourite method or something that works? I'm just interested in learning. Thanks.

Damien will want to see the photo you'd like to edit in this way.

I don't have a specific photo yet. I need to know how to convert it first, before I shoot it - so I shoot it properly.

Ok so I tried with one photo I have - NOT the one I want to use, I want a full body shot but I just haven't photographed it yet.

I would like to learn how to get the lines thicker and more contrasty... like this, but not this pose : https://www.pinterest.com/pin/226517056233082930/

Those ones are actually drawn that way.

Yes I figured that..... but I wanted to see if you have a tutorial or know a better link to achieving a "pen drawing" so I can get close to that effect?

No, sorry   I'll move this to the GenDisc area to see if anyone else knows a good method.

Ok thanks - just one thing I'm trying to tick off my "to learn" list... !
