So experimental technique #2.
This time I wanted to make a picture look like a drawing.
Here we go.
First I found this image of Gillian (

Then I recently got this link
http://www.escrappers.com/pencilsketch.htm so I wanted to try this out. I ran it threw on the base picture and it created a pencil like drawing of Gillian. Then I used this method to separate the line work to a layer of its own (

Then it just removed the original background and coloured the picture.
For the background I just found a image and applied a few filters to it.
