Ok, look at the belt
Was someone painting that and thought, I need a random splash of bright yellow at the back there. Or was just a highlight colour they picked up from a source pic then thought, that looks good.
I'm not actually convinced that I'm right, but it's like a nagging suspicion every time I look at the pic.

oh, i think it's a trace, but not an 'automated' one like i was trying in artrage
i think that block of yellow, and the detail in the nose give away that it's been done directly over a photo layer, but i don't know how 'automated' the colour selection or brush strokes are.
i've just downloaded a painter free trial, and i'm gonig to have a play

Ok
we're on the same page then.
What I've been trying in Painter is setting brushes to pick up colour from the source pic instead of the colour palette. (Edit: That's how I made the pic you're talking about).
If you use the oil brushes, you'll see how quickly you can replicate some of the strokes and effects.
On the other hand, I've also been struck by how clever the tumblr pic is. There's more than one technique in use there, unless there's a whole other way of going about this that I'm missing so far.
Regardless, Painter is loads of fun and I'm really enjoying exploring it.
