Tbh if you really have trouble drawing from imagination I'd just recommend to limit yourself, choose a simple style, only worry about symbols/icons, ignore perspective, form, light, even color, just do black and white and try to design an interesting image, if you still get stressed out digitally then do it with pen.
This is one of my favorite books

You can find scans online and get inspired.
Just doodle, baby steps, doodle on small pieces of paper, doodle with pen, with pencil, with fat markers, and slowly start to define what you want to get out of those mediums or styles.
Also, on these 2 pages of my sketchbook I was trying a cool process for drawing that might help you, just put a line down and fix it until you like it, then add more; once you get something nice going on, duplicate it, then work on the duplicate, repeat the process until you have 40-50 versions you can constantly reference as you keep developing the drawing.
