imo, your version's cleaner than the psdtut's, i'd like to know how you executed this one

I did worked a bit differently then the tutorial on PSDtuts. There are lots of steps in that tutorial that are pretty unefficient. Anyway, here's how I worked...

Instead of applying and repeating the Image Adjustment Threshold in Photoshop, I only used 2 filters to make different versions; Poster Edges and Cutout.

Then I imported the psd file with it's 3 layers (the original image, the Poster Edges version and the Cutout) in Illustrator.

The Cutout filter gave me different colorshades making it easy for me to outline the shapes. I used the Poster Edges filter to draw the details on the face.

If the cutout filter didn't worked so well I swapped between the 3 layers. The only thing I needed to do is turning the visibility off in Photoshop

Then I basically worked my way up, starting from dark blue to red, then light blue... and so on. Saving every color to it's own layer.

Hope that was a bit helpfull. You should have a look at my Illustrator file, then you can see the workflow for yourself!

I really like this.. Good Job!
