I recommend two sources to start with, with different aims for each.
The first is the book Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain. IMHO, it is one of the best resources I've found for learning to draw from life. It has a variety of exercises designed to teach various aspects of perception including edges, values, negative space, perspective and so on. As most things that we draw are abstracted from life, learning to draw from life is a useful skill.
The second is the Draw a Box web site (http://www.drawabox.com). This is geared towards drawing fundamental forms and being able to construct objects out of those forms. It's more technical in nature designed around using ink instead of pencils for drawing. The course is highly structured with specific lessons for each step.
These two sources can serve as useful starting points for learning to draw.
