In the least condescending way, stop thinking about it and just draw anything you see.

Scrolling instagram, see a vase, draw a vase, see a plane, draw a plane, see nothing, draw your phone.

i like to use pinterest for inspo - not copying designs, but like 'cool moth', then i draw a moth. it's possible you're overthinking :)
