There is no magical thing that will solve your inner conflict.
You feel like you're holding back because, maybe you don't want to depict certain things, (assuming you share your work on with others) you don't want to draw attention from certain crowds or be judged wrong for what you draw.
Either draw solely for yourself and don't share or think about what you actually want to do with drawing.
Were you always laughed at/mocked or ignored for your interests or did success often draw negative attention growing up? That might also be why you're like that.
pic related is my work and i have many other like this but will never share that on my socials because i don't want that kind of attention

About bg; just expand your visual library. Collect photographs or art of places. As long as you don't flat out copy and paste them into your work, you're fine.
