do Somebody know how to stylize picture?

[handrawn]

first off - the engraving on a dollar [afaik] is not from a photo - I would imagine it is done from scratch

photo's often have far too much detail to do this well, but you can usually do it more easily from line art see here:

Very interested tutorial, handrawn. But it is almost hand-made design and it requires many hours of work and strong drawing skill. I interested in some technique what lets to work exactly with photos (maybe pre-processed before) and what can authentic results with minimum spent time.

you put in the work you get the result

you don't want to to do this... well sorry, pay someone to do it for you, because photoshop is not a magic wand

Good find Handrawn. I thought that I would have a go at this as it seemed a well thought out tutorial. Ok most of the instructions are there although I am not finished it yet but one simple line in the tut took nearly 2 hrs to do and I am still not finished. If I get the time to finish will post cartoon in this thread.

I'd like to see that - but only if you have time...

If you have a vector drawing program (I used Xara Designer Pro) it can be done in a few minutes. Possibly it can be adapted for Photoshop.
Why not download the free trial and have a go. See attached mini tutorial.

interesting though that is Bob, it's not an engraving effect, its a wave effect...

Photoshop indeed is not a magic wand but PC is attended to make the life easily and work more productive and quicker.

iamtheblues, I caught your idea although your tutorial shows only simple basic steps but it can be extended. The main problem is what the result will look too synthesize, without a charm of hand-made work. Also, I would like to use Photoshop and I dont want to buy the Xara editor additionally.

There is a Photoshop filter that simulates wood cuts and steel line engravings. See http://designerstuts.com/2014/05/23/...-in-photoshop/

There was a similar effect in Xara years ago http://www.xaraxone.com/guest/guest31/index.html

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.
