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.
Serious Situation but it's Muppets
"May I be damned!" cried Ivan as he cradled his son, whose glass eyes had already glazed over in unconsciousness. Blood trickled falteringly from the wound at his scalp, soaking into the fleece of his skin. Ivan's soft, bulbous nose pressed his heir's damp brow, the gravity of his crime dawning upon him. In his arms, the future of his kingdom sagged limply, for he was a puppet and had no bones.
There are few paintings as sobering as Ilya Repin's "Ivan the Terrible and his Son Ivan," with that hauntingly empty stare, the utter awareness of what he has done, and that it can never be undone. But ask yourself this one question: What if they were muppets?
Choose or devise a serious event, but replace some or all of its characters with muppets. Whether you want to lean towards the juxtaposition of serious and absurd, or keep it all buttoned up and as serious as possible, the choice is entirely in your soft, puppet hands.

Framed Ink
I'd been drawing as a hobby for a solid 10 years at least before I finally had the concept of composition explained to me by a friend.
Unlike the spatial reasoning we delve into here, where it's all about understanding the relationships between things in three dimensions, composition is all about understanding what you're drawing as it exists in two dimensions. It's about the silhouettes that are used to represent objects, without concern for what those objects are. It's all just shapes, how those shapes balance against one another, and how their arrangement encourages the viewer's eye to follow a specific path. When it comes to illustration, composition is extremely important, and coming to understand it fundamentally changed how I approached my own work.
Marcos Mateu-Mestre's Framed Ink is among the best books out there on explaining composition, and how to think through the way in which you lay out your work.
Illustration is, at its core, storytelling, and understanding composition will arm you with the tools you'll need to tell stories that occur across a span of time, within the confines of a single frame.
