The effect is ghostly yet technical, resembling something human-drawn but not enough to be confused as such.

Although it may be confused with a drawing on paper that was later very well creased and then dampened.

You have to wait a while, but upping the line count to 20,000 (unsurprisingly) leads to better results in the failure cases.
