How can I photoshop my kid's thin pencil drawings so that they look like they were drawn with a sharpie or thicker pen? I want to stick them on shirts at some point. Some of them are just funny and bizarre.

I am looking for some good documentaries about outsider artists. Anything you've seen that you've enjoyed or were fascinated by - long and small pieces, pieces about the art and pieces about the artist, old and new. Specifically of artists that are still living and who are interesting characters. Thanks, MeFi.
