@Derek Cross has a really good tutorial option. Definitely a posterize at base to help get started.

I would use that as a youtube search or other tutorial options incase you see something different that speaks to what you want.

Thanks Derek,

unfortunately it doesn't work for images with many details, especially nature. I am looking for an illustration effect that works on every type of image.

Here is my image created witht that YouTube tutorial effect:

Not very nice.

And I followed the tutorial exactly.

The thing is, the original you posted appears to be a hand drawn illustration so it's difficult to recreate such style in Photoshop.
