This may be of some interest. Does a line drawing taken from a
photograph constitute copyright violation?

Standard caveats: I ain't no attorney, etc.
As I understand the definition of "derivative," this fits it and is a
copyright infringement if the owner of the copyright has not granted
permission or been compensated properly for its usage. The line art simply
looks too close in its detail that any claim the [line] artist did not
start from the photograph lacks credibility.
