How do you enjoy or find motivation to draw? I feel like I'm always having to force myself to draw or I feel bored while doing it.

I'm in the same basket, don't know about you, but I can tell you my own reason for this.
I'm immensely lazy and hate hard work, I have trouble with concentration, weak self-control and non-existant willpower, all this while having big dreams about being an artist. I really hope this is not reason for you because this sucks. I guess your best bet is define some foreseeable targets that you sure you can accomplish and work from here taking small steps.

You might have depression. I don't find joy in anything either and I got a lot of shit for that from people saying that I shouldn't draw then. Don't listen to them. If you play vidya and watch shows just for the sake of escapism and that's the only thing you really ever do, you have problems.
Also, stop making your own useless threads, we get those "lack of motivation threads" at least once a week. The only answer is to just do it. Have a drawing routine and stick to it. And if you're actually depressed, get pills/therapy + routine.

my question was rather "what inspires you to draw"
what you have to do is copy that type of art or artist. Then, when you feel confident enough, start drawing your own variations of their art, obviously you don't need to be even remotely good. The point is to develop and understand what you like about art so that it can guide you through your studies. Studies should only be a smaller aspect of your work.
Well at least that's how I see it, and I'll admit to be a hobbyist. I spent a few years going through loomis / Vilppu and all the others, reading a lot of art books trying to understand why people liked art. None of that is lost and I think I still now understand things I've read about years ago. However, back then it was quite a struggle to get to work. At some point I was so sick of it I just couldn't stand nude studies and just started to copy drawings from some mangas I liked. A few months later, it finally "clicked" and I started consistently drawing my own ideas.

I don't really have anything that inspires me though. Maybe I should look for something.
