If you're starting, the most important thing is to gain as much understanding of visual aspects of the world as you can. This means you should analyze shape, values, light, color, perspective, texture and material of anything that you're seeing. You need to understand how it works.
At the same time gain some knowledge on composition, study some good paintings and photos. Especially if you want to design worlds for games.
If you're guning for character design, then you need to be very proficient with drawing poses (study human and animal anatomy) and have a good visual library of clothing and armour.
As for vehicles and architecture, the most crucial thing is perspective (however perspective is needed in every type of design, wheather it's a character or a landscape).
Good luck
