most wouldn't call a draw bad, perhaps you mean a hook. perhaps you are taking the club back too flat. otherwise i say aim right and draw it in towards the pin! like everything in this game, there are so many things it could be so the more details you give us all the more help you will get

I used to hit the monster hook myself. No fairway could hold that thing. Didnt matter if I hit the right side it would still hop dead left (im right handed) and run forever into the trees. I was breaking my wrists too early in backswing and getting ultra flat. My leg action was also bad. Instead of getting my weight into my right heel I swayed and it went to the outside of my right foot. From there I transitioned too fast to my left side and had to post into my left shoulder and flip my wrists. I would either hit a fifty yard block, ten yard draw, or a seventy yard hook. If these are your shot patterns you need to work on getting into the right heel (right handed golfer) in your back swing, and also concentrate on letting the shoulders take the club to the top not the hands. When done right you can transition to your left side and just let it go. I developed a feeling for the hook swing that felt like I was dragging the club behind me until just before impact. This is what too flat feels like. When I started feeling myself staying behind the club using the shoulder take away I hit better shots. Straight balls to five yard draws. Another helpful thought is to think stay behind the shot into the backswing and look underneath the shot on the through swing. Sometimes thoughts work better than mechanics. I use both to fix my problems. Read alot of tips and articles on proper grip, the takeaway, and the transition move. These are the most fundamental elements of a repeatable golf swing.

each person has there own issues that could cause a hook, but i personally ran into this issue for about two weeks. i ended up noticing i was finishing too low. i mean i was finishing to much around my body. when i fixed that i had no more problems. again, that was just me.
