Basically the use of a pick will come with experience

When i first started playing guitar i didnt use a pick, and i didnt use a pick for 8-9 months after.

when i did use a pick i anchored my hand on the bridge,(like you are going to palm mute, but dont put ur hand on the strings) this made using the pick easier.

I originally used a heavy thickness pick then gradually experimented with other thicknesses, personally i like using medium picks, i only use thin picks for sweeping and fast alternate picking, they break easily so have a few on hand just in case
