Try Creature House Expression. Until MS acquired the company, it was the best alternative to Illustrator out there, with features way beyond anything Adobe could offer. Last I checked, Microsoft were still offering both Windows and Mac versions as free downloads. The Mac version doesn't work on modern OSX, but the Windows version is awesome - and it works perfectly on WINE too. Note that this is professional software, with an 'appropriate' learning curve. I love the user interface. The manual is friendly, comprehensive, and very well illustrated.
