Lately I haven't been able to think about what to draw... anyone have any suggestions?

My suggestion:

Drawing characters, but drawing them in an art style you haven’t tried yet.

I feel it’s a good challenge.

Okay, thanks

Go out and live your life some more so you'll have something to express. Look at pretty things. Flowers. Architecture. Check out other people's art. If it makes you say, "I could draw this better!" then go for it. Love. Laugh.

I'm generally a busy guy and I love going on trips, I see the world almost everyday but thank you.

I might just try that, thank you.

Draw yourself. Create a character that looks like you, but with the complete opposite appearance. Imagine looking into a parallel dimension where everything is the opposite. Not in the sense that black becomes white, etc. Rather, it should have a bias toward details that would be absurd for you. In other words, it's you, no one knows you better than you do. If you saw yourself from this perspective, you would say, "This can't be me. What nonsense." At least, this thought experiment often helps me when I'm in the same situation as you. It doesn't matter what we draw or create, any creativity is part of ourselves. Therefore, we are much more likely to find inspiration if we turn inward and give ourselves the opportunity to see ourselves from different perspectives.

When I don't know what to draw, I just draw something I already drew before. Why not?

A good video which also helped me a lot:
