Most of the tutorials I know of are purely makeup tutorials, but every queen dresses differently.
I'd say these are the big requirements:
-Wig (preferably a big one). Go to a wig store and buy a decent one (I'd start with something like this or this (lace-fronts are usually the best).
-Dance tights (some queens wear up to 5 or 6 tights at a time - this helps shape your body more like a female's because it covers the padding).
-Padding: get a piece of thick foam (something like this) and use either a safety blade or an electric turkey/meat carver to saw out something like the shape of an inverted comma (for your hips). The leggings/tights will cover this up.
-Padded bra (or fake breasts) - remember to contour (and obviously shave) your chest to outline your breast areas (if they're going to be showing)
-Fake/costume jewelry - silver or gold, pick one and stick with it for any one particular outfit. I'm not sure where you're located, but everyone in Los Angeles goes to Santee Alley to get their costume jewelry, but I'm sure there are a million places online to get them too (Etsy, for instance).
-Heels. You'll probably want to start with 4-inch or less if you've never walked in them before. Practice walking in them a lot. A huge telltale sign that a queen is new is when they're all done up, but they're half slumped-over walking because they can't properly walk in heels.
I'd say that your first step should be to go get a pair of heels and practice walking in them. I see people out in West Hollywood on a daily basis dressed completely as a man, but wearing heels to practice. It's not as easy as it might look, especially for a guy.
Unfortunately, drag isn't a cheap hobby (or career). If you don't have a bunch of money to throw at it, go bargain-basement hunting online. The good news is that most places will put large sized shoes on sale, since they're harder to sell.
Most new queens start out with a corset-based outfit, but it's not a requirement. If you're a bigger guy, it might help shape you closer to a woman's body type.
Hope that helps! (This advice is from the husband of a drag queen, so it's second-hand, but if you have specific questions, I'll be happy to ask my husband for more info).
