Spend a few minutes looking around - tons of new artists are asking the same questions as you

Autocon · Jul 2010

There are also sticky's labeled with things like Programs us Artists use and entire Forum section on a recent Polycount TF2 contest with tons of threads of tips, tricks and advice from others.

Asking questions is always a good thing, but if you dont try to even find the answers then you haven't really learned anything.

Unity + Blender is your best "free" option for making iphone games.

But you need a mac, and $100 to become an iphone developer.
