The pen tool is the best for creating really smooth minimalist images. But it takes a long freakin time. For something alittle quicker check out this: [url:158dw5xw]http://www.melissaclifton.com/tutorial-photolineart.html[/url:158dw5xw] This is what i have used for my work, with very good success. It takes a little bit of tweaking with the settings to get it to work for some images, and you will probably have to clean up some errant lines afterwards, but i like it a lot. Example of completed work (used 2 different lineart layers with 1/2 opacity on the detailed one, and full opacity on the less detailed one, i also left part of the original image in there at a very low opacity to get a better feel for what i was going for: [img:158dw5xw]http://img67.imageshack.us/img67/7056/fjlineartoe3.jpg[/img:158dw5xw]
