I realize that this is way out of your budget but this is the one I used to use at work. I can not find the one I currently use(I switched to a corded Logitech one) but I would say that any mouse with this kind of shape will be way more comfortable for your hand than the one you have a picture of in your post.
I would also recommend getting a corded mouse. Since I have experienced that in an office environment the signals of a lot of similar mice will get crossed.
For some reason when I see someone working with a small mouse like yours I always think that that person is gonna get carpal tunnel from working with it or something. I do not know why since I do not have enough knowledge of ergonomics to draw that conclusion. :) It just looks really uncomfortable.
As you said a drawing mouse should be wired, big, easy to change dpi and a good scroll. I have been using this one for 4 years:

Even my professor bought himself a new one after trying mine. I can't tell some of my friends the difference between a cordless laptop mouse and a real mouse.
I teach CAD. Personally I think learning via youtube is treacherous; you are not getting any formal structure, there is no one to answer questions when something goes awry, and worst of all, stringing along random videos is a surefire way to miss BIG pieces of the picture that are often super-important. If there are no community college classes in your area that teach the software, why not call the local Autodesk training people and see if they do a 1 or 2 day training for AutoCAD Electrical? If not, try CADLearning.com. It's video-based, but THOROUGH. IT'S LESS THAN $100 A YEAR FOR "STUDENTS." A last-choice option is a book like this one: https://www.amazon.com/AutoCAD-Electrical-2017-Control-Designers/dp/1942689462 Again, it's got all the important elements in logical, structured order so you are not missing the big picture things, like how to set up a "Project," which is important in ACAD Electrical. Youtube, IMHO, should be a last-resort, or a way to get a single specific question answered occasionally.
An angle finder tool like this can be handy, and they're dirt cheap. (Metal versions are available too but a bit spendy; the plastic ones work fine for most purposes.)
Eyy~ You'll likely want one of these~ A digital caliper / micrometer.
If you're willing to purchase a book, try this one
