>>85370 Photoshop CS is my weapon of choice. Others use Illustrator or Inkscape. I guess Coreldraw could be a choice too, but I haven't heard of anyone using that. Beyond that, it is getting familiar with the program's vectoring tools and practise, practise, practise. Check out for example NegativeZero's Simoun traces for some really good stuff made by a talented person.
Read through those generic guides and learn hot to do vectors. If you for example use Photoshop, get familiar with the pen tool. Learn how to make S-curves between two points bend just like you need them. Take some simple anime screenshots, like a face closeup, and practise on them. Blow the original shot to larger size, though vectors being vectors you can always blow them up more later (this particular image was done at 3000 pixels wide originally). Remember, layers are your friend, don't pack all the vectors onto single layer; makes editing them later easier too.
