I really want to recreate the image attached with other pictures of people but i juts cant get tit as smooth as this pic attached...
This is what i have done so far
1) Desaturated
2) Filter > Artistic > Cut out
3) Curves
4) Blur
Any ideas on other ways of achieving this type of image?

The best method usually depends on the image you are using. Try image-adjustment-threshold, I don't see that mentioned in your workflow. Also, you may want to look at the channels palette, and use just the highest contrast channel.

You could also try a lot of adjustment layers in various threshold and posterise guises, vary each of them in strength etc. Then use a combination of the various layers to trace an image.
It really depends on the result required and the input of time. My guess on this is that it is a levels and threshold result with added pen tool.
Hope you get what you are looking for.

Yeah, draw it yourself with the pen tool- this is an insanely easy to do style. Don't just rely on Photoshop's automated commands to short-cut yourself to a quick result- there's only two shades involved here- black and white. Use the pen tool, create your anchor points, stroke the paths with a black hard pen tool, then fill the areas in black and white.
What Photoshop can produce with one photograph using filters and built-in commands, it won't necessarily produce with another similar photograph.
This is because all photos are different- some have more contrast, some are sharper, some are duller, some more saturated and other less saturated, and so on. The result you get with one photo is likely to be a one-time deal; you might not get the same result on another photo using the same commands.
Draw it yourself, you'll be far more pleased with the result.
