draw-whore is a good method. just draw anything and everything. things in your head and things in real life. things from photos, things from kiddies picture books. one time, someone might ask you to draw something,a nd you'll be able to draw that thing. and even if it doesn't turn out good, it's there!

Matt:
The first step is definitely to draw so much that you get your initial thirty thousand bad drawings out of the way first.

At least that's the optimal way. Me, I just drove right in.  The more you draw, the better you get, yup.  I personally prefer to go around and try mimicking styles/poses of other artists, then see if I can draw them within my own style. THen I mess around until I think something looks right, then I repeat.

Get a sketchbook, too.  Then every day, try to fill at least one page (cram it full) with sketches.

ElRodente:
what helps is just randomly throughout the day, take the time to REALLY look at something. it'll gradually help your ability to improvise/draw from memory

minignome:
thanks guys, I'm now officially hard at work on this ;o)

pencilears:
doodling is pretty much all that I do. if you want a good art site you could check out deviantart, they have a lot of good tutorials http://www.deviantart.com/ certainly helped me out a bunch.
