One of the most important aspects in the creation of visual art is... [i]visual[/i] experience. Find a few tutorials (plently of 'em) on the most basic drawing techniques, so that you won't feel completely lost, and then just go on drawing anything you can see. Objects with a simple geometric form, such as jars, boxes, soccer balls and ect. are the best to start with, since they are easy to apply to more complex structures later on, for the sake of fully inderstanding their form.

Just keep drawing at a steady pace, and you'll soon come to understand in which direction to go. Oh, and before i forget: studying the works of experienced artists is a great way to learn as well.
