Hi
Does anyone know how I would go about achieving this effect?
I pretty much want to emulate it exactly on to any black and white image.
I am unsure of how to create that 'zig zag' effect between the shades of gray, which when viewed from further back, make a smooth transition between shades.
Hope you can help!
Many thanks
Andromeda have a number of Photoshop plugins, such a Cutline Filter that may have something similar:

IMO the was most likely created using a Plug-in on a high resolution image.

I can create the image below using some software called Ink Scape.
But I really need to try and get the zig zag style of shading between the shades so it blends much better.
Have you ever seen a plug in of this sort?
This is the Ink Scape image:

The closest I can think to give you a similar pattern would be the Oil Pint filter

Thanks for the input guys.
After creating these images in Photoshop I print them out as stencils and then spray paint them into a painting.
So I am really after exactly replicating the effect to make the shading on my stencils better.
Here is one of the paintings so you can see what I hope to achieve which the new effect:

Hi
You might also search Google for : Photoshop CC, engrave or Etching plugin. There's also some script/action.

I think I've gotten close to the idea. You'll see, I started with a gradient - black to white. I then added a Posterize Adjustment Layer. Turned it into a Smart Object, and ran a Ripple Filter on that. It may not show great on the video - but to me, it looks close, I think you'd just want to tweak image resolutions, posterize sizes and ripple distances to get the ripples straighter. You'll also have to do it in parts, with the top image of the lady's face - but this might get you started. I love what you make, BTW...
