My advice would be to draw from emotions. If there is something you are dwelling on then use those feelings to create the direction as you are drawing. In the end your draw will have captured that emotion and some times feel like it is it's own creature. I have a lot of females in my drawing because I start out with drawing a random female and just let my mind wonder. try it, it maybe fun. :P

sorry for the long time with out a response I haven't checked my comments in quite some time. I am glad that my work inspires you!
