This example is actually a vector drawing. Taking into account that you're new to Gimp, I would rather suggest using a vector graphics program such as Inkscape (you can download the latest version from http://www.inkscape.org/). You can import the photograph in question into Inkscape [via <CTRL> + I] and draw "over" it using Inkscape's curve tools. I usually make a second layer for the drawing and make this semi-transparent [via the "Layers" menu]. This way, you still see the photograph on the bottom layer. When you're finished drawing, all you have to do is, to delete the photograph, make the second layer fully opaque again, select the drawing you made [<CTRL> + A] and export the drawing as a PNG [<CTRL> <SHIFT> + E].
