dont worry if illustrator is not working for you. You can make your icons on Inkscape too. But carbide wont allow the text based icons made from inkscape, for that you will need illustrator. First make an sketch of the icon you're willing to make on a paper, than try and make it on inkscape using its tools (for that you'll have to be familiar with every tool first). And once your icon template is done, half of the icon work will be completed. All the best :)
