hey sorry for not checking out this thread sooner lol.

i'm not sure if there is a tutorial for this. it's actually a quite simple "process", the only difficult part of it is learning how to effectively use the pen tool.

All you have to do is open up the image, place it on its own layer over a white background... then just start tracing each little part with the pen tool. this includes tracing over the different parts of the eyes, the eyebrows, the mouth, hair, yadda yadda... you just have to know how to work with those anchor points and set the curves accordingly, and you can only get good at that with practice (it's not all that tough once you get the hang of it).

a few things you'll want to do to make the job easier... i use the pen tool on the fill mode (so that when you start drawing out the points, it automatically fills with color) - but sometimes that color gets in the way of what you're drawing, so you simply adjust the layers opacity to 0% while drawing.

anyhow, like i said, just takes practice.
