I've seen a few tutorials floating around for doing this, and quite frankly some of them produce pretty shoddy end results. I'm not saying my method is the best, but it looks a hell of a lot better than using the graphic pen filter. So, here's how I do it.
1. Open your image in photoshop. Please note that the larger the image, the better it'll look. This doesn't work well with smaller images.
2. Desaturate the image (CTRL + Shift + You)
3. Up the contrast (Image > Adjustments > Brightness & Contrast). Not too much, just enough to make the contrast between dark and light stand out a bit more.
4. Filter time! Go to Filter > Stylize > Find Edges.
5. Now, play with the levels. Press CTRL + L to open the options. What the arrows do:
- The left arrow controls line thickness. The further to the right it is, the heavier the lines.
- The middle arrow controls shading. The further to the right it is, the heavier the shading will be.
- The right arrow controls light. You can use this to create darker lines.
Bear in mind that when you move the left and right arrows, the middle one moves with them. Toggle the middle arrow to the same point as these before moving them unless you want the shading to increase/decrease density aswell.
6. That's it! You can erase parts of the background fairly easily if you want. If you want it to be realistic, it's best not to have loads and loads of detail in the background. Here's what I came up with; I used a photo of lizzy

You seem to have lost the detail in the picture during the process. I tried my hands and came up with this. It was freestyled so i didn't keep record on the process. Maybe i'll post the process later.

Free yourself of the shackles of expensive software.
AutoCAD - LinuxCAD, QCAD
Photoshop - GIMP
Illustrator - inkscape.org
Windows - LINUX, Linspire
M$ Office - OpenOffice.org
Publisher - Scribus
Visio - Dia, Kivio
Windows Terminal Server - LTSP
Most run on Windows, as well as Linux.
