try starting your image at 800x800 or whatever... just large. then draw a rough, but accurate version of your icon, resize it to icon size (70x70?? idk)
touch it up, adjust contrast, sharpen then taddaaaaaaa you're done... with an awesome icon

edit: here i decided to do this in like 3 minutes to show you how the quality looks when its resized.
