A lot of practice!. This style is achieved using various soft and hardnesses w/ the Brush and Airbrushing tool!.!.!.!.!.a wacom pen tablet can really help alot!. also you can play around w/ some gradient fills!.!.!.!.and also solid fills and then using the dodge an burn tools to create darks and highlights works well as well!.

Basically its like painting and building up the artwork in layers!. There is no "magic button" or filter that is going to achieve the look your after!.!.!.just dedication, talent and hard work!. :) You can do it! I'd suggest doing a search for photoshop tutorials related to illustrating!.!.!.like "illustration techniques in photoshop" for example!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I'm able to make photos look cartoon-like by:
Filter>Blur>Gaussian Blur!.!.!. apply it lightly!.!.!. Edit>Fade Gaussian>Darken
