Honestly you need a lot more to properly tackle art deco aesthetic. You seem to struggle even without any aesthetic in mind, as revealed by those scribbles.
I'm not too well versed on art deco, but you can see that nothing you've produced remotely resembles it: https://www.google.com.br/search?q=art+d...0Q_AUIBigB
The lines are concentrated and suave, without broken lines, and there's a lot of completely straight lines and symmetry going on. Even this drawing:
Is very characteristic due to the apparent geometry and pattern of the objects. I guess these arts were made this way to facilitate mass printing, but this is just spitballing as I don't know anything of this style.
This being said, try using rulers for when you need straight lines, and carefully draw the curves, avoiding multiple strokes. Make use of the geometric patterns and study the nuances of the style instead of simply drawing "scenery and events commonly depicted in art deco", because this alone is not art deco.
