Advice needed on creating icons

dartsfan · 2011-08-25 03:33:08

I need to create some simple icons for my Android game. See this picture http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=e7kkkl&s=7, where there are green, red and grey icons. I know these are very straightforward to create, but I'm looking for a free tool that can create them easily. I've been messing around with MS Paint and Paint.net…

I need to create some simple icons for my Android game. See this picture http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=e7kkkl&s=7, where there are green, red and grey icons.
I know these are very straightforward to create, but I'm looking for a free tool that can create them easily. I've been messing around with MS Paint and Paint.net but these are just too tedious, especially as I have to rework them to fit correctly.
Ideally, I'd like some way to make them more 3D as well but that is a lesser priority.

Can someone please advise me on the best way to create these?

Thanks

Definitely inkscape.
And maybe gimp, for any pixel-level retouching, cropping, etc.
