I would recommend "Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain" by Betty Friedan. It's in the public library and it's the one that got me to take drawing more seriously and get me from high school to an acceptance at an art school.

First start with yourself. Find a soft led pencil that feels good to hold. Take time to relax and look at something near you. Make marks on some paper to copy what you see. Play with different ways of representing what you see with your pencil. Use the point, use the side, use hard and soft strokes. Slow and fast. Draw in different ways. Draw the spaces around things, then think about where you see light and dark. Doodle all the time to practice circles and straight lines and oblongs. Keep all of your drawings and study them yourself to see what you like and what you have learned. Instead of drawing the idea you want to represent, as for instance the way you think people should be drawn, draw what you actually see in front of you. Once you have done quite a bit and know how to relax into your drawing, you can learn somthing from other artists. But first you must learn to see and understand the relationships within your mind, hand, and imagination and the world around you.

Junior Colleges have great art departments geared toward a vocation (earning a living doing the thing you are learning). You apply for a Pell grant, based on my income I got enough of a grant to take several art classes each semester and it was a blast.
