If you're looking to be an artist or illlustrator, but can never find ideas you have two options: still lifes in real life or pictures on the internet, or draw your thoughts.
Also, if you enjoy drawing, and I had never thought of doing this until near the end of my college career, draw your notes. If you can portray a concept visually, sketch it down and make some bare bones notes. I'm not the best with walls of words, but it had never occurred to me to draw out the concepts I wanted to study. If you are a more visually oriented person I found this helped my studies immensely.
Also, if you like to draw one subject, never stop drawing it. I don't care if its dinosaur, fruit, cartoons, or tits. The only way to get good at anything is to do it until it is second nature, regardless of what others think. You can't be good at everything, and while it is encouraged to experiment, never think it means you shouldn't draw something you enjoy to draw or should stop drawing a certain subject. People told me since I was in elementary school to stop drawing dinosaurs. I ignored them :)
finally, ignore all critiques and simply critique for yourself. What do you need to improve, have a third eye and faith in yourself to improve and ignore anyone else. Use a medium the way you like to, find your style, and don't stop doing it just because people think you're doing it wrong. You can't distinguish yourself if you let others define how you do something yourself.
