Either draw it and scan it or if you are making it on the computer i would say adobe photoshop. If you want to try and animate it then some flash program - maybe fireworks??

There is a program called smartdraw.com. It can draw anything, but one thing it can draw well are views of the human body. Smartdraw allows a free trial period.\nI used it several years ago for free, and ended up buying it because it was reasonably priced and so useful. If you don't want to buy it, just print your images during the trialperiod. You could insert your pressure points and it would look very professional.

We use Xara X, a European graphics program.  It's really easy to use!  And it does annimated gif's too.  Compared to Photoshop, it's a very reasonably priced graphics software package.  I think it's like $60 now.  Go to Xara.com to see what I'm talking about.  \n\nIt's a great alternative graphics program to Photoshop.

Check out Paint.NET (http://www.getpaint.net/), it's a great alternative to Adobe Photoshop and it's free.\n\nThere is no real way to do layers in standard Paint.

Try Open Canvas or the GIMP.  The first version of Open Canvas is free, and so is GIMP.  OC is more for painting style illustrations, while the GIMP is more an image editing software.

paintshop pro has layers too, autocad would be better though. but if you could get your scan to a pdf file there are pdf to dxf conversion software that would work good.\n\nhttp://www.aidecad.com/ is one

Try the free 30 day trial d/l from Paint Shop Pro by Corel.  It has a great Help section.  It is easy to use and does a lot more than most program for a resonable price.\nhttp://www.corel.com/servlet/Satellite?pagename=CorelCom/Layout&c=Product_C1&cid=1152105040688&lc=en\nE

Macromedia Flash  has some good built in tools for making Flash content. Adobe Illustrator can be used to make high quality simple drawings. There's also another program called "Freehand." You might consider investing in a USB Tablet which lets you use a pen like you would a mouse, it can really help drawing inside things like Photoshop. Additionally, you can draw your images on paper, scan them, then edit them with photoshop for amazing results.
