I've been doing a lot of browsing through tutorials looking for one that will help me produce high-contrast black-and-white illustration-style images like the iconic image of Che Guevara. Lots of the tutorials will turn a photo into a Warhol-esque pop art or comic book style, but none of them produce that merging of shadows that I want. Please, can anyone point me in the direction of a technique or tutorial that will help?

That looks like it has some potential...maybe in combination with the Cutout filter. I'll work with it and see. Thanks for the suggestion.
