I'm trying to draw a shaco skin but after making a somewhat bad picture, I feel really lost is what I should be trying to achieve instead of hoping to make an illusion of a good drawing design. What should I know and what things should I be doing?

One of the things Riot really looks for in a skin design is that the silhouette of a champion stays the same. IE when they're walking around the rift you can instantly recognize them. Next, you want to think about a theme. How does everything tie together? What weapons would match this new outfit thematically, ect ect?

From what I understand, Riot won't directly take a skin that someone has made, but seeing the main concept behind skins can spark ideas/ give them an understanding of what people are looking for in new skins.
