draw stuff you can see, that you would like to be able to draw. also, try drawing things from your imagination based on things youv've seen, and if it doesn't turn out how you like, than draw it over and over until it does, or until you get a better iidea and want to draw something else. it really just takes practice, but there are ways to start if you aren't good yet.

start by drawing basic shapes. a square, a circle, triangles, lines, etc. after you feel confident in your basic shapes skills, move to making images out of shapes that you can draw. for example, to draw a car, start with a rectangle for the body, then draw 2 circles for the wheels, a parallel line over the top of it, and then two diagnol lines connecting the parrallel one to the body of the car (the rectangle) and you have a very basic outline. then keep using these basic shapes to add the details: the car doors, the hub caps, the windows, the door handels etc. you can use this basic shape technique as the foundation of all your work really.

for a person, draw a stick figure with the head size and proportions you want to build on, then use circles for the bisceps and leg muscles, and squares for the chest, abdomen, pelvis, and so on, except you will want these shapes to be 3d, so learn perspective techniques and how to draw basic shapes in 3d to form your creation before adding all the detail to it. it's really all about creating it step by step, rather than all at once. building line upon line, rather than out of nothing. thats what I do at least.

hope that helps. try it out and see.
