  This answer will by definition have a lot of links, but here we go. Since you're looking for instructions there are a few sites that you should consider visiting.
  
  The first is [Cubiculus](http://www.cubiculus.com/), which specializes in creating LDraw versions of custom and official instructions. The creator of the site adds plenty of his own (basic) instructions.
  
  The second is [Rebrickable](http://rebrickable.com/). It contains many creations by various builders, and some provide LDraw files for you to download. The instructions are usually quite advanced, however.
  
  Lastly, you could put together your own LDraw files from LEGOs basic sets. The biggest consolidated collection of instructions is available on [Swooshable](http://swooshable.com/buildingschool/official-lego-instructions). (Full disclosure - it's my own scraper that consolidates set instructions from the five biggest sources on the web. I built it to not have to check different sites for a particular instruction.)
