Sketching or drawing from life is the #1 way to hone your skills. You will see values and detail that are not apparent in photographs. Place inanimate objects in front of you and sketch away. Heck, you might have a lazy uncle that's an inanimate object, so sketch him (ha ha).
Use one light source when sketching at first. This will give you a definite distinction between light and shadow. When you get proficient, you can try multiple sources of light to get interesting effects.
