You can use programs like GIMP to trace over an image. Load your
picture as a background, create a layer over the top of it, then draw
on the layer, tracing your picture. After you've traced it, hide your
background, and you've got your tracing to work with by itself.
And once you've done that you can open Inkscape and use the "Trace
Bitmap" feature to turn it into a vector file if that is what you
need.
