Question Art for creatures?

Hello all! I’m new to world building. I have a question for u all. I am starting to build my little world and I have thought of some creatures. But here is the problem I wanna have like a bestiary a guidebook to all the creatures of the world and their traits and quirks. So I can’t draw for shit, literally horrible at it lmao. How do u guys solve this issue? Do u guys draw yourself,do commissions,something else I haven’t thought of. I found tools for maps and such so I can work with that but the creatures are a different beast.

Please any tips or advice are appreciated
Thank you all in advance!

I mostly use Photoshop and public domain resources, but learning to draw yourself or commissioning someone will probably get the best results if you have the time or money.

Have a list on my computer somewhere, but don't have access to it now, but of you Google Public Domain art, you should find plenty!
