Music, other people's artwork, movies, taking a walk, playing video games...it usually happens to me when I'm not looking for it. Try not to force it, just let it come to you. Whenever I try to force anything, it always turns out shit.

^ agree, you can't force it, mostly it just happens when you aren't expecting it. i have this sketch book that i draw something in everyday. even if its something pointless. like yesterday i drew a bottle of water :confused: when i look through it again it sometimes gives me inspiration or there's a sketch in there i can develop into a full drawing.

Get some books from your library or something. The Art of Urban sketching is awesome if you are interested in drawing buildings. Anatomy for Fantasy Artists is a how to draw book but at the end the guy has lots of examples of his work that really inspired me. I just got this book recently called Extraordinary Sketch Books, that shows you a whole load of other peoples sketchbooks, its pretty interesting too.
