you need a rough idea of something that you would find fun to draw
then iterate on that idea by brainstorming and daydreaming

Firstly, you may be more creative than you give yourself credit for; try keeping a notepad at the ready and writing down any idea that you have. I myself have a large list of creative projects written down to pursue, just from writing all the bullshit ideas I come up with. Enough that I'll probably never finish even a fraction of them.

But if you have trouble coming up with ideas, you can try using classic brainstorming ideas like mindmaps.
If you want something that's more like a creative 'exercise', in the same vein as lifting weights, try picking a random topic, and then coming up with as many visual ideas as you can possibly wring out of that topic as you can - just super quick scribbles/thumbnails. Doing this over and over, you should theoretically improve that creative muscle.

If you're looking for something like a book or course to help; Bert Dodson has a book called Keys to Drawing with Imagination, which I believe is purely about this very subject.

And what in the living fuck is even the question here.

I've had a problem of lack of creativity the way "train" creativity is prolonged boredom with no distractions. You have to do nothing for hours at a time like sitting, no screens, no music, even no windows if you can distract yourself with it.

Take 1-2 hours to just sit by yourself with paper and pen/pencil you don't have to draw. You'll want to after a while, but you don't have to. After the boredom sets in your mind will wonder and a wondering mind is what creativity starts as. you want to help your mind wonder by exploring any tangents that pop into your head. Looking for detail and depth in these baby ideas (no matter how shit they are it's just practice).

If you do this regularly like 1-2 times a week (or whenever you can manage something is always better than nothing). you'll start to feel more able to pick out and develop ideas easier when you need them..

It's all well and good but I can't conceptualize what the fuck is even the problem you're trying to solve here. I'd understand someone procrastinating on starting a novel because they don't have an idea for a good story (still the wrong mindset) but a drawing is like a fifteen minutes time investment. Just how genius does your idea need to be before you can start moving your pencil? Literally anything can be the subject of a drawing. Just draw the first thing in front of you god damn it. You have to make thousands of drawings anyway before you start being any good. If just coming up with ONE drawing is that hard imagine thousands.

Going on walks can also help with creativity. Input is important for output, so "stop and smell the roses". You should also read lots of books, listen to all sorts of music, and meditate.

Be curious and studious in all the things you do.

you cant really get more creative
you can learn tricks and read from books but its not true creativity, youre really just using shorthands that approximate creativity but its not true creativity
true creativity is something youre born with, probably a wire crossing thing, some people just think of cool shit without even trying while others need some flow chart and just end up with generic garbage anyways

Why the fuck did you even learn to draw if you have no ideas? You have ideas, you want to draw them, so you learn to draw. How did you get to the third part without going through the first two?
