I recently created this tutorial; this one just is an alternative way to get the strokes.  You can view a bigger version of some of the images below by clicking on them.

 

1.  Run G'MIC's lylejk's stencil preset (thanks David for keeping this one for me); play with the sliders:

2.  Run G'MIC Anisotrophic Smoothing preset; play with the sliders:

3.  Feed the result into Neon Edge Detect; play with sliders:

4.  Now make a duplicate copy of the original source setting the top layer to Saturation and the layer below that to Hue.  Also create a solid black fill set to 50% opacity and set the layer property of this to Dissolve:

5.  Now do some hue/sat adjustments to make it look more like a chalkboard result:

6.   Result so far (cropped preview):

Belows the result after a few more nuanced tweaks and also added border (not going to do a tut for that).   Hope you like.   :)
