Danny Gregory is very inspiring. Plan to spend a long, long time at his web site and blog. Read his story, look at his drawings. Amazing stuff.
Jane LaFazio is a quilt and mixed media artist and draws like a dream! Be sure to look at her sketchbook pages.

Books
Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain, Betty Edwards
I really like this book. The approach and exercises are very simple and straightforward and they work!
The Natural Way to Draw, Kimon Nicolaides
A classic. I bought my copy when I was in college. Excellent.
My dad recently had both feet amputated so my shaded pencil drawing of his familiar old boots was a kind of art therapy."Snijplotter
