Can anyone tell me how to create line pictures like this (with Photoshop or Elements)?

Especially with very smooth lines, which you can see very clear in the second picture.

This effect can be done  by putting a layer of closely-spaced lines (or dots) above the image, blurring it a little, and setting its Blend Mode to Hard Mix. The second picture looks to have the image visible through it as well.

 

As for the swirly lines, Maybe a rake-type brush? Or a pattern of stripes with the Liquefy filter run on it (I've done that)?
