Respect. You can use, in particular:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GIMP[^],
http://www.gimp.org/[^];
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inkspace[^],
http://www.inkscape.org/[^];
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IcoFX[^],
http://icofx.ro/[^].

All of the above should not be a problem for you. The real problem is much more difficult: idea, drawing, composition, in a word: art. Very non-trivial. Not many people in the world can do it well, really.

Respect? So you guys normally "steal"? Sorry if i offended you!

Please, check yourself and have some minor sense of humor. You did not offend anyone, no one tried to offend you...
And I answered your question somehow, despite the fact it's off-topic.

ok I just checked my sense of humor. It seems ok. I'm sorry about that. Can I ask you again. Do you normally "steal" image/icon/ any graphics for your own program? I'm just wondering because I'm still a college student.

What does being a college student have to do with anything? If you want to create your own icons that great, go do it. If you want to use publicly available graphics that are public domain, great, go do it. No one is telling you to steal anything.

Are you serious?
