These are the oldest videos on how to use the program, are very complete and are a solid foundation in using the program..
After these, on Remmy's channel https://www.youtube.com/@RemyMonsen or even on the official Pro Fantasy channel https://www.youtube.com/@ProfantasySoftware there are many more explanatory videos.

First Map Feedback
Hello Ryan, welcome!
If you'll allow me, the rule of thirds is a powerful ally in both painting and the aesthetics of map presentation.
Looking at your interesting first drawing, I would say that the right third is well filled and has a good aesthetic of the continent and island. However, and on the left side of the image, we have an empty "canvas" devoid of information.
1 In this first example, if you have an idea of ββwhat exists inside the continent, you can move the landmass to the left so that the image is still balanced and develops more information about the interior of this land.
2 In the second example, you leave it where it is and, to make an interesting image, I would add things to fill the left side. Some of the suggestions are giant monsters without scale, frames with information, legends and local stories, flags and drawings that fill the space.
P.S to example number 1 and 2, It is always recommended that all the main information and images are within an imaginary frame (in green with crooked lines lol) to also give a more harmonious final image.
3 Another possibility you can transform this map into a 1x1 scale, for example 100x100 miles/kms and "cut" a good part of the ocean if it is not useful.
In all situations, after your map is done, you can finish writing name the cities, the island, volcan and points of interest to draw more attention. Plus Decorate the map with the name of the kingdom, region, etc.
As @Loopysue said, scale and rose wind are also essential resources.
Personally, I would go with the first or third.
Cheers
