Cartoonize / anime software

I'm looking for software to produce a fairly decent quality cartoon / anime image from a headshot. It's for use in an online profile.

Hopefully there is a good free to use software out there.

Any suggestions please?
 
I use Inkscape for hand drawing cartoons with vector curves. https://inkscape.org
You could try image manipulation such as Posterize in Gimp, to separate the shades and colours. It's quick and easy, but results vary depending on the original image. But if you first posterise a photo, it's a good guide to getting the outlines for an Inkscape drawing.

See example https://www.talkphotography.co.uk/media/cartoon.93879/

You can create very good cartoon effects using one of the Topaz Plug-ins but they are not free.

Thanks. Looks like its going to be more work than I would like. I found iToon which might do in the interim.
