Find a really good drawing show somewhere. Art museums generally devote a room or more to good drawing. Also, check the newspapers for gallery shows in your area.
Although I am an expressionist, I went to the Rembrandt show some time back and was completely enthralled by the detail in his drawings. While I wasn't compelled to begin drawing, per se, they truly informed my next body of prints.
On the contrary, you may want to simply go look at art you think is completely opposed to what you do.
Inspiration is as important, if not more important, than technique. Some of the most technically exquisite work I have seen is dull as dishwater.

Just like math or sience, there are rules and tecniques that are required in art. Some of the easiest ways to learn them is to watch demontrations and teaching videos from other artists. My favorite site for this is www.newcenturytv.com Click on Artist and you will find hours of art lessons you can watch from your computer for as little as $6.00 a month. Everything from perspective, to drawing to painting with oils, acrylics and watercolor.
The next thing I would tell you is to start your own library of reference books and art instuction books. Check out garage sales and half priced book stores. You can't have enough reference material.
Then I would take 15 minutes a day everyday for the rest of yor life(no kidding this really is the entire secret) and using a sketch book you show No ONE, just draw someting in that time limit every day. A hand, a toaster, a cat, it doesn't matter what your focus on. Do it fast and like any exersise such as playing scales on a paino helps you really hear the music and make mussel memory, your brain will start to form new connections and you will just develope such amazing drawing skills you will blow everyone away. The reason I say do not show this 15 minute sketch book to anyone, is that you will be much braver and more easy about it if you don't think your art is being judged. Have another sketch book for daily or weekly projects, but keep the exercerise one to your self.
TIP: hold your drawings up to a mirror to see mistakes easier.
TIP: Try drawing something upside down so you are just drawing shapes.
TIP: Try drawing the spaces between the objects, not the object or what is called Negative Space.
Again art is all about seeing.

Practice, practice, practice. Try to do a couple drawings a day of what you see, or imagine.
Get a sketch book, bring it with you everywhere. When your bored doodle in it. Just don't give up.

It takes Practice. Lots of it. look at other peoples art that you like. Thats what I do. Just develop your own style from that because theres a style meant for everybody you just have to find yours.

Practice, practice, practice. It doesn't matter what you draw, just draw often, a lot, try drawing large, draw people, draw fast sketches, don't erase, don't worry about mistakes, just keep drawing and you will get better, I promise.

well you should try drawing basic things. drawing is not about drawing something perfect or exact but using your creativity to make something different or meaniful. you are already a good drawler because you are different . theres no one like you so that makes you a hec of a drawler.
