Does everyone create their own sprites and backgrounds? Or do you get the images from somewhere specific?

lots of free stuff here: https://opengameart.org/ including kenney assets which are good for props/testing, at least.

and, itch.io is a good source for free and paid-for assets.

those should get you started.

Depends...

I regularly use AppGameKit Giant Asset Pack 1 and 2
Also, I'm always looking for Indie GFX Bundles on www.humblebundle.com and on Steam
Sometimes I just search the web for free stuff
What I don't find, I create myself

Be aware of the license, even for the "free".

Some "free" open-source license require you to make your own software open-source too, some other just ask you for some credits and mentioning the license. And in some cases it's free for anything.

Opengameart.org has some licenses explained
https://opengameart.org/content/faq#q-proprietary

So when you're planning to go live with things, make sure you know what art-work you got from what resource and what license it is.

Just to make sure you won't get into trouble in future.

i create all original textures sprites and models and use blender or paint for most of it. sometimes i cheat and use open source textures. no worries on copyrighted materials in a published game that way.
