4. The next step is probably unnecessary, but I wanted to add a little edge. So I used an outlining pencil, let it run for about a second, and then stopped it. In the end, the outline will not be visible, but this addition of a dark gray will provide almost an edge shadow to the image.

This is the "Edge Autodraw" preset in the Pencils category. I applied it for a little less than a second.

5. The next step just involves bringing in a little more color and texture to my image. I'm applying a rough style (download here) just to the subject using, as before, the WhiteCanvasProbErr setting under Path Application. I let it run about four seconds.

6. Next I'm using the same Paint Patch, but I'm applying it across the entire canvas. While my primary concern is the final appearance of my subject, I also didn't want to neglect the background. In this case, my background is white, so I just wanted to add a little texture. Since you're using the same preset as in the previous step, make sure you set the Prob back to Pressure.

7. Now, here's the part that I think makes this particular example less sophisticated than the other example. I was losing too much definition in my image, and I wanted to bring some back. So I used a modified version of the "A Thin Colored Pencil" in the Pencils category. I modified it by changing the Path Type (found in the Path Shape palette) from "Curved" to "Spiral Ellipse."

This obviously brings in a lot more definition to the image, and it also muddies it up.
