I am guessing you started with photoshop and you don't like those background color mixing things.
don't worry about it, just go to the settings of any brush shape you like (the wrench icon in the tool properties submenu, I reccomend any of the watercolor ones), go to ink and disable "mix ground color"
if is not that then I have no idea what you don't like about them.

if your hand aches go see a doctor, you might have developed some carpal tunnel issue or tendoditis.
in general, it has to do with posture, how strong you hold your tools, rest and temperature changes. so keep a good posture, hold your tools softly, use gloves and don't let your hand get cold after a long session of drawing and most importantly, take rest periodically (remember, rest doesn't mean playing games, let your hand rest)

get the idea of digital working just like traditional, it won't happen.
just like how oils are different from working with inks and such, digital is just a tool that you have to learn to use.
aside of that, do some experimentation yourself and find something you feel kinda comfortable with.

experimentation, the markers are just a tool just like any pencil would be.
depends on what you wanna do with them too, some values I am guessing.

if you're talking about the drawabox warm ups then try the scott robertson method: draw one elipse, draw a line on the longest axis and fold it by the middle
