Stuck on a Sketch

I have been playing with my lined city scape sketches today. I had drawn them a while back as warm sketches.
I have visited it may times trying to figure out how to bring it to the next level.
I thought about painting it, repeating as a pattern or adding other motifs to it.

When I am stuck on sketch I pull out my mini boxes which contain various shapes, motifs I have drawn, and color chips I collect. I also have an audience with my sketch books and pull from there as well. This is the exercise I do when in a creative funk. We all have our own style when we approach a creative hiccup. What's yours?
