    The easiest way is to buy some expensive program or plugin to convert the art for you :p

    If you have Flash, that has a way of converting images into vector drawings, but it's not very good. Nor is any other automated method.

    Really, if you want it to look good, you'd have to trace it manually.

    Like what programs? Money's not really an issue.

    Corel PowerTRACE is the most accurate bitmap-to-vector tracing application.
