what do you mean exactly? how specific are these "topics"? if all else fails, just make a list of areas you want to improve (portraits, figures, landscapes, etc.) and put it into a randomizer and draw what it spits out. you can also follow the "5 minute rule". idk if that's the formal name, but the idea is that you say "okay, part of me doesn't want to do this, but I'm just going to try it for 5 minutes and see what happens," and I find that it's pretty easy to keep going at that point. also, if you have free time (for stuff besides drawing) you can dedicate some of it to thinking of things to draw and make a word doc or something. you could also ask chatgpt or some other language AI to spit something out for you to draw.

You guys probably get posts like this all the time in these threads but is it possible to learn to draw?
Is it something you have to be born with and build on over time or can anyone become good with enough time and effort?
If anyone can learn to draw, where should i begin? I just feel lost with where to actually begin? should i just start drawing stuff and go from there?
I kind if feel like im wasting time by attempting to draw and I beat myself up when I actually try to sketch
