If you want, you can pick up a few different grades of pencils. Not sure how it works where you are, but HB is the standard then H-H9 are harder and lighter and B-B9 are softer and darker.
Some shops do a pencil set that ranges about H5-B5, but any pencil will do.
From there its just a matter of opening the book and sketching.
You can look up tutorials online to study various aspects of drawing. I can guide you through the basics if you want

And trust me I'll start simple. Not gonna rush into this.

If you want to get started, try something simple to begin with first. Think of small items with a fairly easy shape. Also, drawings will cost some time to make them look great. If you want to learn how to draw properly patience is a must.
Patience is the big thing for me. I have this idea in my head of what it should look like but I want it to look that way RIGHT NOW! So then it ends up looking really bad :$ . I have never considered myself an artist but have always wanted to be able to draw well. I have a book that I got at Barnes and Noble that I am going to go through that will hopefully help me see things from the artistic perspective so that my drawings will get better.

Which is why I'm about to suggest... that practice isn't simply the one thing what'll make perfect; it's a steady hand and strong focus that'll do that. That Domiparadan soldier of mine that I put on Fur Affinity? Not the product of fumbling a thousand times trying to make it in the years prior.
I also say that free online tutorials and such are good, they'll do you no harm, but I do NOT recommend buying classes or getting pricey books about art. They're unnecessary, and if you wanna get into a business of drawing stuff for people, that stuff will just further push you to make your prices very high, 'cause you'll have to make back that ton of money on that fancy artistry college class you took for two years or whatever.

Go to a stationary shop and buy a pencil and a book to draw in.

but some advice is just to keep practicing no matter how bad something is just keep having a go!
also don't force ideas because if you do they will properly not turn out that good
hope you get better and good luck : 3
