Drawing is something I realised I had a talent for quite young, but I haven't really done any for 3 or 4 years now. Regardless, I didn't "learn" so much as I "just did".
I'm with jmathias and Rich — enjoyed it and had a talent since a young age. Seem to have it in common with Rich that I haven't been doing much of it for the past 2 years.
I'm an animator, but i've been drawing since forever. Just doodling and working things out.
Recently in the past two years, i'll pick something to study each week- usually something funny comes to mind like sloths, bears, owls, treemen- etc, and i'll just fill a sketchbook or two a week with it.
I think it's all about learning to teach yourself how to draw. Of course, life drawing is an excellent thing to be able to get into to nail technical drawing.

I learned it in the streets.
Actually, I just always have been able to, no real training.

It was practice, practice and practice. Have taken no formal education in arts - I wish I did.

In college, except now that I'm not THERE now, I've slacked and can barely draw again.
I need to "brush up" on my skills.

I was trained by a rabid pack of wolves that just happened by and took me into their care.

Autodidact, I learned all by myself, since I was young I was able to draw anything I see with anything in my hand: ink pen, chalk, chinese ink...

I think being able to draw is something you born with, while being creative is something different.
I can always draw, but I know I can never be an artist.

Just drew. Then books. Then school. Then art school. Then look and do.
