If you want to learn to draw your own graphics, I suggest googling for "game art tutorials" or "pixel art tutorials". There are an abundance of good tutorials out there, and lots of gree graphics-making tools. As for importing graphics from other games, don't unless the game explicitly says the graphics are free to use. A much safer bet is to start at http://opengameart.org/ where virtually everything is designed to allow re-use. --- James Paige
