I agree with all the above. Practice!! It is the bust way to learn! I also use a dry erace board for practice. I have a small lap size for just doodling a design but have a large one I set flat on my dinning room table. I stand as if I were at my Lizzie and draw using full arm motion. it really helps me set up a pattern to be used later. once your muscles learn the movement and pattern it is so much easyer. Don't give up! The time will come when it clicks and your brain and muscles start working together! Thats when the fun really begins!
