Your example is hand drawn. No way you will get that from a photograph.
Quote:...GIMPressionist looks promising, but i can't find an option to give it a full-screen preview. Without one, i would have to open and close the window after every minor change or test.
That is going to be the case with most old plugins. Get used to open/close until everything is converted to GEGL functions (do not hold your breath) Some are better than others, Gmic for example has quite a large preview window.
EDIT: Immediately make a liar of myself. The Gimp 2.10 Filters -> Artistic -> Cartoon is GEGL https://i.imgur.com/vM6jg5q.jpg
Quote:...Anybody who has experience with this and could help me out?..
Not really my thing, but a couple of suggestions
Gmic Cartoon filter in the Artistic section see: http://www.gmic.eu for the download.
EDIT: another gmic example, this one wild-cartoonizer in the testing section. Give you some idea of the gmic dialogue https://i.imgur.com/M3CQmJ1.jpg also - dreamy-watercolor https://i.imgur.com/tAvIRIK.jpg - several in the gmic plugin that give this type of effect.
A really old plugin, cartoonizer Attached the Windows 64 bit version: Unzip put cartoonizer.exe in C:\Users\"yourname"\AppData\Roaming\GIMP\2.10\plug-ins

Have you tried GMIC? If you haven't seen it it's a set of 485 filters with all the effects you could ever want. I only found it recently & they do a great job. The only drawback is that it's full size preview isn't very large & on a few, the effect doesn't turn out exactly like the preview but you should check it out. I haven't tried the cartoon filter so I can't really comment on it's effectiveness. Just google for download.
