Learning to draw for the sake of my world building projects

I can't afford an artist, and I don't want to use AI so I'm trying to learn how to draw, I'm not quite there yet, but I think I've made some significant progress, here are some drawings of some of the devils in one of my D&D world building projects.

The crow-headed skeleton guy is Hephaestus; his domain is corruption of innocence, he targets The devout possessing them and trying to corrupt their souls (which is tied into one of my players character's backstories)

The tentacles in a cloak is not a devil but sort of a corrupted Goddess, she is Selket goddess of The sea, oracle of the divines, in my setting all but one of 13 original deities have died or become corrupted by their failure to keep a covenant that they made with their creator, a goddess named Tiren (who is ​a sort of higher God who has since died Long before the events of the campaign take place) and Selket​ is one of those corrupted gods, who is sort of lost until she can be led on to the right path again (by the party eventually)

The third image is Sin, her domain is fear, she is one of the 13 devils of the fell delegation, in my setting hell itself is a god called Abysia, Abysia is a high God who is on the same level as Tiren, and Abysia also ​created 13 godlike beings including Sin.

Found a map I made in Middle School

I've been a nerd for a very long time, I made this when I was between the ages of 11-14, many of the nations names have been used in many of my more recent world building projects, I'm 32 now and work as a professional GM (I run TTRPGs like D&D) so I think I found the right job for someone like me.

I don't remember a lot of details about the world as the information is somewhere in a pile of over 100 notebooks I've filled over the years but I remember that the little symbols were tied to both gods and magic systems, and that various factions based their alliances on the adherence to the 4 magic types and corresponding Gods. The magic schools and their symbols were light (star) Dark (sideways lightning bolt) Arcane (Swirl) and will (Square) I do not remember the gods.
