You need to create a sketch to see the sketching tools. 

Check out the help pages for some good tutorials you can work through. This may be a good place to start: https://learn.onshape.com/learn/learning-path/onshape-fundamentals-cad

Thanks, got it, 27min-28min in that video  Cody Armstrong, onshape essentials.... (click the plane, and click sketch, and then the toolbar changes to show drawing buttons like rectangle)

Okay, it's September 2021, and I see with the latest revision, you killed off the rectangle sketch tool. Why???!!! So stupid. Please bring it back. It's the tool I use 99% of the time. Edit, I finally found it, but it looks nothing like a rectangle and is highly unintuitive.

Come on guys, we expect fluid, intuitive design elements from Onshape. Please don't let us down.

@Nickolas_Lockard - That's not intentional and is just some sort of bug that others have seen as well. If I remember correctly, it's related to screen resolution, browser zoom level, and how your browser renders the page. 

You might try a different browser or changing your zoom level to see if it comes back. See the thread here as well: https://forum.onshape.com/discussion/16692/improvements-to-onshape-september-14th-2021/p1
