Start with simple things like:

-Programming a text box
-Using key input to manipulate a simple key menu (move brackets)
-buttons
-user char input (aka rewrite read())

Progress to a more automatic level

-Automatically positioning several elements on a page
-Using key input to manipulate a simple key menu (move brackets)
-Writing to a buffer to reduce flicker

Getting to an even higher level

-Drawing polygons and circles
-Determining mouse_click on polygons / circles

Overall, the main thing to do is keep trying. It will take more than a single attempt to get graphics to look good.
