| | | Increased size of image. When they're too small, the end up looking like photos.
Base layer: BuzzPro Simplfier 1 - to lose a little detail
Other effects applied to layers above the base layer and selectively applied with layer masks:
* Crosshatch
* Colored Pencil
* Microsoft Impressionist - Charcoal/Default
* Microsoft Impressionist - Pencil Sketch/Detail Colored
Cheers...

| | | Used a grain filter on a new layer then set this layer to exclusion mode.
Added a levels layer to darken the background and brighten the colours.

----------------------------
Photoshop...
* Image size to make larger (can't believe I posted such a dinky original)
* Smart blur - to smooth artifacts
* Three layers rendered by a custom Impressionist preset varying the brush size from 50 for detail to 150 and 400 for non-detail areas. Combined these layers using layer masks.
* Flattened and saved
Corel Painter X
* Cloned and use Acrylic Oils variants to "smear" the paint
Photoshop
* Sharpened
* Messed with colors
* Added some detail via layer mask from a layer rendered by Akvis sketch from the original image |

I couldn't decide which I liked best, B&W or colour, so posted both.
