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.
Kaiju Defence Force: Engineer Corps
We all knew it would end this way - we just didn't realize we'd put up such a good fight. Kaiju attacks, once rare and utterly horrifying, have all but become commonplace. Every aspect of our lives, from our housing, our transportation, - hell, even the food we eat - revolves around the fact that multiple times a week, our very existence is threatened by these great hulking beasts that emerge from the depths of our oceans.
Living with the constant threat of Kaiju attacks introduces a plethora of problems that must be solved in order for a society to survive, let alone thrive. Pick one, and attempt to address it in a design. Whether it is a direct defensive measure against the attacks, a means of navigating the city, or a system that helps ensure the citizens' needs are being met - everything's on the table, and the clock is ticking before the alarm sounds again.

The Art of Brom
Here we're getting into the subjective - Gerald Brom is one of my favourite artists (and a pretty fantastic novelist!). That said, if I recommended art books just for the beautiful images contained therein, my list of recommendations would be miles long.
The reason this book is close to my heart is because of its introduction, where Brom goes explains in detail just how he went from being an army brat to one of the most highly respected dark fantasy artists in the world today. I believe that one's work is flavoured by their life's experiences, and discovering the roots from which other artists hail can help give one perspective on their own beginnings, and perhaps their eventual destination as well.
