Holding the woodburning pen.

Experiment with extending your pinky finger on the work surface to balance your hand, or try keeping it curled under your hand. Do what is most comfortable for you. Some people prefer to hold the pen in the “sketching position,” with the index and middle fingers extended full-length on the pen, and the thumb underneath. I find this position awkward, but some students prefer it.

Experiment with moving the pen tip forward and backward on the wood surface with your fingers, without moving the rest of your hand. Get the feel of the pen in your hand and be aware of how the cord moves as you move the pen. Always be sure to keep the cord away from the hot tip. Learn to hold your pen lightly; squeezing too hard will make your fingers ache and your hand hot.
