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.
Meet Human. Human is... stressed. Human has accepted a job in childcare, but the ad was purposely vague about the specific nature of the children for whom Human would be caring.
Pick something out of the ordinary - aliens, dragons, robots, giant dogs, very tiny dogs, normal sized but invisible cats... the more stress inducing for Human, the better! Then, design a daycare for their young. The caretaker should be, as their name suggests, a human, and one who is absolutely in over their heads trying to keep up with their young, unnatural charges.
There's a lot of angles to explore here, from illustrating Human in all their desperation, to designing the younglings, and even considering the kinds of toys and distractions the daycare might deploy in their operations.
