About as close as you can get to Photoshop, for free:
GIMP
You need to download two programs for Windows in order to use the GIMP: the GIMP and the GTK runtime environment, which is available for download on the same site. The program won't work without it. Also, if you speak a language other than English, you can select it when you install GTK.
Here's some GIMP resources you might find useful:
GIMP Talk
GIMP Tutorials at gimp.org
GIMP Tutorials at pixel2life
GIMP User Group (GUG)
Grokking the GIMP
GIMP User Manual
Simple Animations
If you want to try your hand at 3D drawing (also free):
Blender

If you are looking for something like Visio, then OpenOffice.org includes a drawing module in its free office suite.

If you are looking for a CAD type program try SketchUp 6. It is the freeware version of Google's SketchUp 6 Pro. It is a neat program.
