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.
Hidden Amongst Us
The future is here. Robots have, under our noses, become more advanced and complex, with some - albeit still rare and prohibitively expensive - able to be indistinguishable from humans. The fears over such things, while initially driven by panic and uncertainty, have passed and it was long since decided that for the sake of society's collective comfort, hiding the roles AI play was of paramount importance.
In this, they largely succeeded, but if you look closely, you can still spot them. They want to be noticed. They want to be seen.
Pick something you might use in your daily life - a vending machine, a coffee maker, your very own toilet - and allow the AI inhabiting it to shine through, allowing elements of its unique personality to pierce our protective veil of ignorance. Just don't be too obvious - there's a fine line between standing out a little and inciting panic, and no robot would want to risk decommissioning and disposal.

Sketching: The Basics
A lot of folks have heard about Scott Robertson's "How to Draw" - it's basically a classic at this point, and deservedly so. It's also a book that a lot of people struggle with, for the simple reason that they expect it to be a manual or a lesson plan explaining, well... how to draw. It's a reasonable assumption, but I've found that book to be more of a reference book - like an encyclopedia for perspective problems, more useful to people who already have a good basis in perspective.
Sketching: The Basics is a far better choice for beginners. It's more digestible, and while it introduces a lot of similar concepts, it does so in a manner more suited to those earlier in their studies.
