Moosie, do you have a lightboard? You could use that for drawing animation sequences, first sketch and the trace it nicely with ink, scan it all in and drop it into InkScape. You can convert bitmaps to vector graphics in InkScape too if you'd need that.
Not sure where to get lightboards where you live though, unless you already have one of course.
when you said vector art i immidetly the Vectrex which is a game console with vector graphics
i think the best paint program would be microsoft paint + paint.NET+graphics gale + Paint shop Pro 7 + photoshop CS3, it would be called Paint Gale Pro Shop.NET,
Am I the only one who still believes in hand drawn art? I make all of my characters hand drawn... (Usually) Mostly because I do punk/industrial style art and I love that style... So yea....
While Jesus equipped with angels, the Devil's equipped with cops
For God so loved the world that he blessed the thugs with rock

You could always build one... You can make a wooden frame with a sheet of Plexiglas (lightly spray painted) on top and a fluorescent light screwed in the frame underneath. That's what artistically inclined friend has. It's a lot cheaper than buying one too.

Yeah this is what I did as a gift for a friend, it runs on batteries, built for A5 sized papers and I made a nice bag for it too. She was very happy with it :D
