top picture has been traced like ian said and a lame filter.

the second one is a vector. alot more difficult, can't be done properly using filters.

adjsut the brightness contrast levels of the pic and then use select colour range to choose the colours you want. Then fill the selections on new layers

have you desatuated image first, if so after youve adjsuted contrast go to select at the top then colour range, there you have the options to select shadows which are the darkest areas, midtones, greys or whatever you want

got the general idea but there are no sweeping lines like the shaddow on the girls face in your avatar, more pixelated in smaller bits making it hard to paint

when youve got the 3 diff colours on each diff layer just select them and use the paint fill tool to change the colours. If you increase the contrast you can get smoother lines
