Is it posible to create a drawable object out of some other drawable objects? And How would I do it?

You can use [wiki]ImageData:paste[/wiki], if you're in ImageData land.
You could draw them to a [wiki]Canvas[/wiki], if you want the more efficient route.
If you've got a spritesheet and want to recombine them into a drawable, you could also look at [wiki]SpriteBatch[/wiki].
If you just have a lot of separate images you want to make a spritesheet of, though, I recommend doing that in an image editor beforehand.

The canvas is a kind of object that many games more or less need, but it's one of those things that are hard to understand that they exist without already knowing it. I also remember learning about them through a forum post and I was all like "Oooooh!".

Do you have a link to said forum post? I've been looking for a good explanation on them, and I can't find a darned one.

What specifically are you wondering about canvases? The
wiki has quite good documentation and some examples. It is easier to help if you tell us what you know and what you want to learn

The post itself didn't contain much more info than "Have you tried canvases?", IIRC
