well imagination is tough because 2 things, it takes visual library, and it takes fundamental knowledge. So in essence its double the difficulty of reference. The best thing that helped me was drawing references from memory, that way i pay attention to what i get wrong by correcting things, i appreciate the reference and retain more since i have to recall it.
Say you want to draw lizards, tanks, hot women etc. All those things have design elements you need to add to your visual library to be able to create them. Be it anatomy, shape language etc. basically, pick a subject matter and OBSERVE it a lot and take a lot of notes in anyway that works for you, then recreate it from memory, and if you can do that well, youll be able to twist, turn and combine those fragments into new things. Thats the secret.
