That wouldn't be so hard to do, but here's the thing: when such a tool
exists, however nicely it works, if it is used often then people come
to recognize its "signature", and it steadily comes to look less and less
interesting and more and more artificial. That's pretty much what has
happened with the easy-to-use "artistic" filters in PhotoShop -- they
look like cheap fakes to most people nowadays. I think in the long run
it is better to force people to use a little taste and creativity if
they want to produce a hand-drawn appearance.
