Pick up "Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain" and follow the lessons and exercises within. The left/right brain stuff is a little pseudo-sciency, but the basic thesis of the book is sound: contrary to common attitudes, art is a skill than can be developed with practice like any other. It just takes discipline, effort, and patience.

For anyone interested in the book 'Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain', there is a pdf of it easily be found with a simple google search. So easy, that I'm not sure if it's even public domain. I don't want to link it here anyway.
Why is it pseudo science? I tried it first hand and saw remarkably better outcome.
I mean that physical brain lateralization is not supported by scientific evidence. It doesn't matter because it's only tangential to the ideas expressed in the book.
