I was wondering if it is possible to adjust the tracing tool so that it is more selective/intuitive in the lines choice… for example having less lines or closer likeliness for features in the face. I want to create something like this: [http://www.thoughtbrain.com/portfolio5.html or http://www.artist-illustrator.net/NewFiles/racco.jpg or http://www.artist-illustrator.net/NewFiles/thekiss.jpg](http://www.thoughtbrain.com/portfolio5.html)

How is this style created? Any tutorials would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
