Practice drawing the ball with a 6-iron. The 6-iron is a mid-iron, meaning that it has enough loft for control and to get the ball airborne, but it isn't so lofted that it will negate draw spin with lots of underspin.
Smaller grips can help produce a draw. Large grips slow the hands down through impact, which promotes a fade. Smaller grips can help a golfer release the clubhead through impact.
Swing smoothly. The draw requires that the hands, arms, and body all gently release through impact, even if the golfer is swinging at high speed. A draw swing is a more relaxed swing than a fade swing. Swinging smoothly helps promote this relaxation.
Flatten your swing plane. A flatter, baseball-type swing that wraps around the body helps create the inside-out path that produces a draw. The follow-through should be lower and more around than above the shoulder.
More flexible shafts can help create a draw.
Clubs can be adjusted to promote a draw. Adding offset allows the golfer more time to close the clubface through impact. For the driver, a clubface that is bent a degree or two closed can also create a draw.

Young, strong players may want to avoid a draw. The draw flies farther than a fade, so if distance isn't a problem, the additional control that a fade provides is useful.
At first, don't practice the draw with anything other than a mid-iron, like a 6-iron. A mid-iron will produce a nice, tight, controlled draw, while longer irons and woods will put too much sidespin on the ball.
