I think most essential skill for self taught designer is watchfulness.
When you don't have a clue how, for example, hero section should be designed, just go to the Dribble and scroll through examples people with experience make. Then your brain will recognize patterns for spacing, font choices and other things every good hero has.
If you struggling with particular UI component, you can address css/components libraries like Bulma or Vuetify.
For me the hardest part is static assets (background pictures and illustrations), because you can't make them from scratch without basic __drawing__ skills. Here is some links from my bookmarks, maybe it would helpful:
