Youtube is awesome. a fmq class can be helpful but they really only give you the basics on how to set up your machine, std & following lines on a paper. that was my experience at any rate. sounds like you may have that already. i never doodled on paper until the past few months. i have been fmq for the past 3 years. i was very happy with the results of doodling. it really helped me define my feathers and some swirls i wanted to try. be patient with yourself. it does take practice but it's not hard. mostly just have fun!
