I second woggie's recommendation. "Drawing On The Right Side Of The Brain" is excellent for us analytical types.

I'm currently doing a Design course, and had an "a-ha" moment last night doing my Observational Drawing homework exercise. Half way through doing the exercise (for the second time, I screwed it up badly on the first attempt) I suddenly understood how and why it was a useful technique. It would have been nice, of course, if my teacher could have explained this; but finding it out for myself by working it through it was probably more helpful to my learning in the grand scheme of things.

All this to say; sometimes you can't know in advance what exercises will help, or even if they will. I think you just need to find some that work for you (you'll know which ones do and which ones don't, believe me) and go from there.
