A slight deviation from the regular photoshop tutorial...info on Headcut Drawing / Stipple Effect,which I found to be quite interesting.

This is a style of drawing ,mostly focussed on people,invented and used till today by the Wall Street Journal.The drawings are done with a standard size of 3" by 5.167" and the image is portrayed by means of a stipple method which consists of several dots to create the image.These are used to emulate the style of newspapers as well as those of engravings in certificates and currencies.

Its presumed that the spelling of "hed" might be based on newspapers' use of the term "hed" for "headline".A small history behind the invention of HedCut Drawing.It was first created by Kevin Sprouls,the freelance artist who first approached The Wall Street Journal with his ink dot drawings in 1979.Hedcut Drawing enriches the newspapers classical look and feel.
