I find to warm up for drawing, I like to draw things I know well. Like my hands, animals, faces or even leaves.

Study the form and the way the light hits the item, then practise, practise and practise :)

if you have not drawn before, it is really hard to see past the "image". for example, when you want to draw a tree, people think of a typical tree. when you look at a real one, its much more complicated. then you suffer the problem of size deception. you will instinctivley see the tree as a whole not a bunch of lines and shading. therefore it will be disproportionate in size, looking weird (assuming you dont have natural talent, unless you do, i wish i were u in that case). so heres what i do, when i started out, i did those "copy this picture in the box below" activities you can print off for kids, but the trick i find is, i draw it upside down. seriously!, if you draw it upways you see it as "im drawing the arm" and you dont focus on how thick, wide the line is, what angle its at, wheres the shading. those things are what makes the picture look the same. so start off there, then as you get the feel, and stop seeing the picture as a whole, it gets easier to draw real life. Practice makes perfect. keep trying.

Tables. Easy, but can be challenging.

Boxes and such.

I'd say cartoons (off your imagination)-look at "Charlie Brown", -Charles Schulz made millions off his child-like "Peanuts" cartoons.
