Confused about pixels and vectors
So i need my desgins to be clear when they are small or large, but when I do the icon preview it is grainy and pixelated. How should I save or create my drawings/designs so that no matter how small or big it is, it stays crisp and clear?

Hi.
Some reading here:
https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/userexperience/conceptual/mobilehig/IconMatrix.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40006556-CH27-SW1
So png is the recommended format on the market for icons.
You will have to export your vectors if you want to have good images, and make raster images of more sizes for them.
More good info:

Small icons may look smudged, here is microUgly's tutorial for a good compromise:
