Instead of asking for specific suggestions for drawings, I'm asking for project prompts! I'm currently collecting as many art prompts as I can so that whenever I feel uninspired, I can look at the prompts. Some of the prompts I have collected so far are:
- Illustrate three scenes from a book of your choice
- Redraw an old magazine/comic cover in your style
- Draw characters from a book in a different time period or culture.
- Combine two different styles in one art piece.
Etc.

I'm hoping to collect more so I can have more ways of conjuring up some inspiration when I need it.

I don't know if you're trying to avoid fanart. But I like the idea of book characters in different time periods and/or cultures.

How about redesigning characters from movies or comic books?

Redesigning them based on what?

People seem to be commenting on the prompts I listed instead of suggesting new prompts. XD

Draw your favorite manga/anime characters as animals. Yes.

It's really good for inspiration I find. XD

Drawing what a song makes you think of is a really good one. Might have to use that some day. I think of weird stuff all the time listening to music.

Hmmm... How about, colors? You can draw what a certain color makes you think of, or feel. As literal or abstract as that can be.

One creative exercise I do is to pick a song from a band or album you like and think of yourself as the director of the music video for one or more songs that really speak to you in some way.

For example, when I listen to the song "Vanilla Twilight" by Owl City, I imagine my OC Shay putting together a decorated sky latern and then going outside with her friends to release their laterns into the air as part of a winter festival they celebrate in their country.
