if you want to get skills in drawing details you should think creative.

you can always use a good spline and extrude.

and dont forget to think in molds (if that is the richt word) jou can substract things instead of trying to create the shape in once.

hope this is somthing.

take a look at modelbank3d.com there is also some free stuff to get. maybe you get a understanding of how to create by study these things

What do you mean by "Detailing"?
Architectural or Mechanical?
How much CAD experience do you have?
Have you taken any formal classroom training?
 
My opinion is that you learn by doing. Just pick up objects, take measurements and then draw them. You can also go to your local library and check out books on technical drafting. You will find lots of books that are filled with technical illustrations that you can practice drawing.
 
And if you haven't taken any formal training, you might want to consider enrolling in a class or two.
