Having trouble coming up with something to draw? No worries - while you'll eventually learn how to start from a tiny seed of a thought and gradually nurture it into a complex concept to explore through design and illustration, it's perfectly fine not to be there just yet.
For now though, here's an idea that might interest you.
Mushroom Manor
For too long, the fae have lived in pitiful hovels, their accommodations cramped and unfit for beings of their majesty. No longer!
There have been whispers upon the wind of a great fairy architect who's been building great fortresses, palaces, and mansions, and now not one of the fairy host will tolerate anything less. But there are many among the fae, and few of them equipped for such a task.
And so they've crashed through your bedroom window, gathered up your paper and crayons, and thrust them upon you as you slumbered. "We demand comfort! We demand luxury!" they cried in unison.
It would be unwise to deny them, so you'd better get to work. Design a house - nay, a palace - for your nighttime interlopers, and be sure to use lots of natural structures and materials. Dirt, flowers, grass - and a variety of mushrooms to be sure!

Rapid Viz
Rapid Viz is a book after mine own heart, and exists very much in the same spirit of the concepts that inspired Drawabox. It's all about getting your ideas down on the page, doing so quickly and clearly, so as to communicate them to others. These skills are not only critical in design, but also in the myriad of technical and STEM fields that can really benefit from having someone who can facilitate getting one person's idea across to another.
Where Drawabox focuses on developing underlying spatial thinking skills to help facilitate that kind of communication, Rapid Viz's quick and dirty approach can help students loosen up and really move past the irrelevant matters of being "perfect" or "correct", and focus instead on getting your ideas from your brain, onto the page, and into someone else's brain as efficiently as possible.
