If you've been keeping an eye out, you'll have noticed that all the new 2.8 tutorials are popping up in all the expected places. I'd like to bring your attention to one sort of series-of-serieses(?) on a channel by a guy named Grant Abbitt. His sort of "beginners' course" starts with this very simple introductory scene:
The modeling in this scene is incredibly simplistic - low poly even by low poly standards - but then goes on to also teach shading, lighting, some volumetric effects, and finally rendering, and that's why I like it so much; a lot of beginner tutorials might spend a lot of time modeling a single complex object or two, then briefly touch on a little shading maybe, and then that's it. This tutorial's scene is very basic-looking, but it's a still complete scene, so you learn things that a lot of other popular tutorials might leave out but yet still don't get overwhelmed with complexity.
After that series, you go on to do a little more complex modeling when making this well, which is designed in the style of a more typical low-poly game asset:
And finally you make this really neat "Sea Shack":
Which is more complex yet, plus optionally at the end you get to learn a little bit of animation for some parts of it.
Abbitt has plenty more tutorials on his channel though, covering other things like sculpting and animation in Blender, so it's well worth a look even if you don't intend to take the beginner tutorials.
