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.

Popular image.

Interestingly when I did a search for steel line engraving it showed the Xara Xone Guest Tutorial image at the top of the images.
