The easiest, and simplest way is by killing creepers. There is no way to craft gunpowder. However, with a bow killing ghasts is fairly easy, and they drop both gunpowder and a tear. It's up to you though. Hoped this helped!
i tried killing creepers it just gives me xp points!!!
Not to be mean but that would be like saying "I chopped down an oak tree but I got no apples". You need to kill more creepers.
Better yet, make a hostile mob farm. I made the one in the wiki's mob farm page (modified to be an xp grinder with fall damage), I get one to two dozen mobs a minute, about a third of which are creepers.
Again, not trying to be mean, but gunpowder, being a mob drop, is a truley infinetely obtainable item. Not getting any would be like not having saplings. I tend to have massive amounts of each and either leave the piles around taking up space, or throwing it in lava.
I have to agree with predatorx: read the wiki! I haven't been on these forums for too long, but probably 10%+ of the topics in the survival section could have never been created had the user who started it spent 5 MINUTES OR LESS to go on the wiki, look up whatever they need to know about (take gunpowder for example), and, in the first sentence or two of the page: Gunpowder, formerly known as Sulphur, is an item that can be obtained by killing Creepers, Ghasts or looting dungeon chests.

No I will not +1 you unless you say something worth +1ing. Respect is earned, not given.
Eggzio, I see you are new to minecraft. So here is the creeper analogy. Creepers explode and blow up blocks. But that doesn't consider it "killed" it suicided. Creepers drop 0-2 gunpowder on death and always drop exp unless a glitch or falls in lava. Remember, don't get too close to a creeper when killing. Use the hit and run strategy over and over and that will be the best.

The problem I have with ghasts isn't that they're hard to kill, but that they're usually over the lava ocean.
