Some people expect to be able to come up with great ideas just looking at a piece of blank paper, but for all they know, they were influenced by the medium that they're using (the type of paper, a pen/pencil, etc). A person can draw different types of lines whit a mechanical pencil as opposed to a regular yellow #2 pencil.
Everyone has times when they are in a writer's block, drawing a blank, or simply cannot come up with ideas for their designs or artwork. A way to remedy this brain fart can be to look outside the box for inspirations and ideas. Step back and take a look around and try to see the details of the world. There are artists that uses organic materials from nature to make a beautiful expression, architects bend and shape metals to create interesting shapes and houses, designers that use recycled materials for everyday objects.
When working on a project, it is important to do sufficient research to see what is being represented and in what ways it can be done. But most importantly, don't forget to take inspiration outside yourself and make it your own. People can be inspired from many different things. A person can combine great ideas outside themselves into a composition totally of their own.
