Ok I decided to start drawing, I'm really crap but I want to learn and spend time on it so I can be good like you guys here.

Anyway I was wondering if theres any tutorials that teach the basics of drawing, I've had a look at Sumaleth's link database and theres some good tutorials but I want one that has the basics, something good for me to start learning on.

Also any advice you guys can give me?

Oh and just normal pencil drawings right now, I haven't got a wacom but if I learn how to draw with just a pencil then I can use those methods when I buy a wacom.

I think the best approach is to read the "Loomis Books" and learn the basics every artist should know. Draw the pictures you like most.
It's ok if it doesn't look good right away. Just try to figure out what's wrong and draw it again or draw over it until it looks right.

You should also start drawing circles, ovals, rectangles, etc.

It doesn't matter if they are not perfect to your eye. If you want to get a REALLY perfect circle, oval, etc., you should be using one of those guides which come with the preset shapes.

http://drawing.about.com has some basic tutorials, I think.
