    These can be made with adobe illustrator, and is sometimes referred to as 'vectoring' - turning a raster image to a vector image. There are some tutorials on this blog: http://vector-art.blogspot.com/search/label/Tutorials

    There's a feature in illustrator called Live Trace.

    If you take the original image to photoshop and give it good outlines using filters and a basic brush to join all the ends.

    Bring it into Illustrator and then run the Live Trace; you will have to tweak the trace settings.

    Then use the Live Paint feature and then you're done.

    You can find Live Trace and Live Paint Tutorials for illustrator on the internets.
