Unfortunately, Illustrator costs like 500$, so unless you have money to
burn, or have other uses for the program, it's not cost effective.
There may be free alternatives to Illustrator, but Illustrator is the
industry standard.

Well, Photoshop has a line/pen tool as well, as does its little sibling
Photoshop Elements. You can get Elements for under $100 (assuming it wasn't
included in some other bundle one has already purchased...that happens a
fair amount).

Illustrator has lots of great, fancy vector-type tools, but for something
like this they probably aren't needed. Of course, if you already happen to
have Illustrator, I guess that's the way to go.
