Fellow artists, how you motivate yourself to draw?
For almost a year I'm in this weird state of not being able to draw anything. I open up my sketchbook, look at old drawings and other art, and yet nothing. Any advice is helpful, as I'm really desperate to bring my flame back.

I don't draw, but I do write, and having taken art courses as well as writing courses, I think it's similar:
In order to write, I need to experience things that inspire me. In order to draw, you should look for things that inspire YOU. Have experiences, pay attention to nature, read new stories and study small details that you can find interest and beauty in. The more you look with an artist's eye and listen with an artist's ear and imagine with an artist's mind, the more inspiration you'll have.
And then... put pencil to paper and draw anything. Doodle, if you need to. Start with what's in front of you, simple as it might be. The *act* of creating can spur a lot more creativity.
I hope this helps.
