After "trials and errors" I feel comfortable in releasing this second style for creating a drawing look to an image: my last trials have received a kind of "approval" by OMG, neurolurker, Ella and Issabella.
Main characteristics:
- allow a selection in input
- provides 3 different looks (at choice): gray, sepia, light colours
Because some filters used inside create different results depending on the image size, the filter uses internally a work image of a fixed size; this allows to get a uniform look independently from the source image.

Here the filter:

As outcome examples I show:
- here the 3 possible looks without a selection
- on the next post the 3 possible looks having an input selection.
