Personally, I am more a button-pusher.
The below were done using a plug-in. Both images were low res, the Alice drawing from the one tut was a screen-grab. This plug-in is the one from AlphaPlugins Engraver. Depending upon the resolution of the image, the amount of pre-processing required, and perhaps post-processing, the actual settings used will always need to be altered. This plug-in has always been adequate for me.
Oh, and btw, always size the image before you process it. "Engraved" images look even worse than a regular photo resized up or down in size.
