Welcome to Crimson Daggers Maira :).
Hopefully this place will encourage, inspire and educate you like it has done for me.
You're definitely onto a good thing with anything by Andrew Loomis, if you see any more of his books, snap them up!
John's also given you a good steer with those recommendations, I'd like to second the drawabox.com advice, it is a great free resource that will furnish you with good drawing fundamentals. The teaching it provides is something that I intend to keep on going back to for as long as I do art.
I also recommend anything this guy puts out:
http://www.dorian-iten.com/
Especially get his Accuracy Guide - it has done wonders for my art. At first it seems boring and academic, but the more I use the principles he teaches, the more I fall in love with art.
Also, it sounds like you are embarking on this journey for the best reason of all - your love for art. My advice is to nurture that and never let it die.
Looking forward to seeing your sketchbook thread :).
