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.
Everything, a Dragon
The world of dragons and dragon-like things is a vast and varied one. You've got your traditional European ones, with six limbs (four legs, two wings), along with your wyverns (two legs, two wings), and even more as you push east into the more serpentine interpretations.
Take anything - a living creature, a vacuum cleaner, an extension cord, your friend Steve from college - and turn them into a dragon, or a draconic creature of some sort.

It's also more than that - it's a hand-picked recommendation of something I've used myself. If you're interested, here is a full list.
Adobe Photoshop
There are a lot of options for illustration software out there, but mine has always been Adobe Photoshop. I've been using it for nearly 20 years now, ever since I started fooling around with digital art, and it has served me well into my career, both in freelancing and in studio positions. One of the biggest advantages, in my opinion, for those jumping into digital art with Photoshop now is its accessibility. Where when I was younger, it'd cost hundreds, even over a thousand dollars for a software license, younger students can now get their feet wet with industry standard software for just $10/month with their Photography Plan.
