I'm going to differ from the group opinion here: I wouldn't push him if he isn't interested.
My eldest and youngest were all over the fine motor stuff from very early ages. DS7 didn't pick up a pencil or crayon more than a handful of times until he was nearly 5 1/2. He just wasn't interested. Then, when the light came on one afternoon, he suddenly started drawing ten, fifteen, or more drawings in a single sitting. Many of them filled the whole paper. His characters were crude, but they were all alive: pterosaurs and birds were obviously swooping through sky; megalodon (huge shark) was savagely hunting, and his raptors all looked rather manic as they chased their prey.
This is just my 2c, so take it for what it's worth, but it seems to me that if you can interest him in something (eg cutting out pictures of possible birthday or Christmas gifts and putting them into an envelope), that's great. But if he's not happy, I'd back off.
