Have you ever heard of Danny Gregory? He's written a few books about drawing and journaling - Creative License is the most drawing centered, but there's also An Illustrated Life (about journals) and a memoir call Everyday Matters. I highly recommend them all - he talks a lot about the transformational possibilities of drawing and about learning to see as opposed to learning to draw. Very inspiring!
