    I'll go with a different type of answer, since "feeling things out" and "drawing random lines" like is often suggested has never worked for me :)

    Instead, try starting by making some choices: what do you want to draw? a person? a landscape? an object? if you can't decide, pick one at random... you can even use a random word generator if you want.

    Let's say you want to draw a person.

    What do they look like (tall-short, feminine-masculine, skin color...)..? again, if you can't pick just make a list of options and go for one at random.

    What are the doing (are they moving or static?, are they playing a sport? doing an activity? just thinking?)?

    Where are they (outside, inside, in a forest, in a house, in a pool....)..?

    Just keep making questions on the things you don't know yet about your drawing until you have a more clear image. Also, try to come up with a number of differnt answers to this questions before settling for one, the first idea tends to be the most boring one in my experience.

    After some time, you may not even need to explicitly go through the process of making up all the questions, your brain will just kind of do it by itself.
