Sketch software that doesn't rely on file size

[macca2009]

I've got a small photo taken from a mobile phone and want to enlarge it into a much larger than photo sketch.

Any recommendations on software/plugins that can do this?

I know some painting programs don't rely on the photo resolution, so I can use a small photo and turn it into a large painting.

Thanks

I am a bit confused, do you want just to enlarge the photo or to convert it to sketch at the same time? There are many programs (or plug ins) to enlarge a photo, there is at least one discussion thread in software section.....for photo art, on the other hand no need to bother with specialized soft, this can be done directly in Photoshop (image>image size) or Painter, depending on what you are using.
