Need help in understanding Figma more!

Hi everyone. So I need help in getting intermediate or at least get advanced on Figma. I know that sounds weird since Figma is an industry standard; however, I didn't get a chance to use it in my past positions between 2020 - 2026.

Now I have to because most jobs require you to be proficient with Figma for most graphic designer jobs. I already got started by taking LinkedIn Learning and a few free library classes using my library card, but I'm still struggling with it, even though people say it's easy to use. For personal projects, I use Adobe XD during the COVID shutdown to experiment, and I thought the experience would be transferable to Figma would be easy since I was designing UI interface for websites and apps. But it's not. I have trouble in doing animations and prototyping.

Is there any good YouTube channels that go deep into Figma in an easy and understandable way to get it down to a proficient level? I don't want to take courses that cost a lot of money, like Skillshare and Coursera.

Need help in improving logo for a personal brief to update my portifolio

This logo is done in Illustrator.

I just got laid off a few months and I wanted to practice my skills using Figma and Aftereffects by doing a personal brief just to keep myself and my portfolio updated. Right now, I'm pretty frustrated with Figma even though I use Adobe XD like years ago and thought it will easy to get it since the interface is close to Figma but I'm not feeling it. Right now, I'm beginner level with Figma. That said, I want to start something small to build to use these applications so I won't become weird.

So I use CreativeBrief.oi and I am doing a logo for a affordable accessories that are low-cost materials as their target audience is seniors. The brief wants a sense of mystery while being old-fashioned. I went with an animal logo like the koi since it symbolizes elegance and age as they are considered living jewels and it can be considered old-fashioned while convey a mystery. Would this idea work? Let me know your thoughts down in the comments.
