I have seen quite a few great illustrations placed as headers or footers, for example, see this or this. I was wondering which tools are used to make such illustrations. Can I create this kind of images in Adobe Photoshop or Adobe Illustrator? Are they made by using the pen tool?. I'm asking this because I have read some comments complaining about the difficulty to create a nice drawing in Photoshop.
I've also seen discussions related to vector drawings as opposed (I guess) to bitmaps drawings. What is the difference between each other in relation to web design?
Thanks in advance.

Vector files are files that plot out the drawing in lines and points. They can be scaled to any size without any loss of resolution. Adobe Illustrator, Inkscape, AutoCAD are all popular software that create vector type files.
Raster files are files made up of individual pixels like you'd get in a photograph. PhotoShop, Fireworks, The GIMP are popular software applications for creating and editing raster images.
Note that most modern graphic design software does a bit of both. For instance, you can create vector artwork in PhotoShop if you want or export raster images from Adobe Illustrator.
As for what tools were used for those 105 different illustrations, I imagine it's pretty much anything and everything. There's no one magic piece of software that will do everything.
