This thread has some good comments that relate to your question, I think.

Illustrator is great for icons and logos and such. Although, if I'm doing those kinds of things for the web, I'll export it to Photoshop and optimize my icon/logo there. But Illustrator is where I start.

If you are wanting to draw the icons yourself, then Photoshop and Illustrator both support the use of Graphic Tablets which allow you to draw on the screen. I agree that your best bet will be one of those two programs.
