Gather references of artists you enjoy and do studies of their proportions, color usage, and compositions. Try to recreate their artpieces to the best of your ability, then again, and again. Try to redraw a piece 3 or 4 times, even more if you have patience. Never, NEVER get comfortable with the process of creating and drawing, at least not for your first couple of years learning. If you always start a piece with the head, try starting at the torso for a bit, then start at the feet, it'll give you a better spacial understanding.
You should always be willing to try life studies though, it may be boring, mundane, and mind numbing, but it's essential. For the life studies try not to use outlines and then shading. Use strictly shadows and shades to distinguish shapes and objects. That'll learn you basic form and value separation.
Its actually beneficial that you have 0 experience, because that means you haven't picked up any bad habits that are hard to break once they've become mentally ingrained. Start right by using techniques that will allow you to learn and grow and not plateau your skill constantly.
