While the artist often use the exact same pose from the picture they're working from, yup, always done by hand. You can't get that kind of control by running a PS filter over an image, and fixing the stippling would be a nightmare. (And she's not the only stipple artist they've used, either.)

I dunno about Photoshop specifically, but what the artist is doing can almost certainly be modelled as applying some fairly complex algorithm to the photo, so a sufficiently fancy filter could reproduce the effect within reasonable limits.
