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.
