If you are asking for gray lines, you can use this Plugin:

I think @HenryH may be asking for the thickness of wavy lines to be controlled by the colour density of a background image (for example, the smiley face that is lurking in the image above).

 

But the question is not at all clear.


@HenryH instead of asking "Can we do this with  Wavy lines?", please explain in simple words exactly what you are trying to achieve.

Didn't you know @Tactilis that we are also expected to be "mind readers"  😂

Alas, Mind Reader is not one of the available badges:

Hello,

 

I saw this type of image some time ago and there is post about it. There is a little tutorial on how to create it.

Another method:

1. Create a 3 layer image
2. Bottom layer = solid white.
3. Sharp black drawing on transparent top layer. Make sure it has thick lines.
4. On transparent middle layer, render lines with ReMake's Line/Grid plugin
5. Distort lines layer with MadJik's Sin Waves plugin
6. Select black image from top layer (shift click with magic wand)
7. Actvate middle (wavy lines) layer
8. Effects Distort > Morphology: Ht 2, Wd 2, Mode:Erode
9. Your choice of Blur to even out the transition (I found Alpha Blur and Average Blur both did a nice job). AA's Assistant also gave a reasonable finish.

^^ Effects > Noise > Median can also be used for step 8. Use a small radius and a Percentile less than 50%.
