Thanks to Wuligal, I've learned a new trick. Actually, I've been trying to do this for a year, almost.
When I was in Chiapas, I photographed some children and young folks (and a couple of old folks, too.) I wanted to do their faces as drawings. I have finally found a method that seems to work - with a bit of work added on at the end. The initial conversion takes about 15 minutes. Cleaning it up afterward takes about another 30. I'm printing these as 5x7 images centered on 8.5 x 11 watercolour paper. I have a whole series to do. These are two I've done today. One of the quandaries is just how much "dirt" to leave on their faces. They have quite browned-toned skin, and some of shows up just because it's dark. Some shows up because it's dirt. I wanted to leave the dirt!
Comments and critiques welcomed and appreciated.

I like them, Kathy...looks like lots of work, but well worth it when you see the results.
