Try creating simple functions like put_pixel, fill_rect etc then work up from there.
What type of graphics interface are you using (Int 0x10, vga framebuffer, vbe,...).

There's a massive VGA article in the wiki.

It's under the Video Category. (There's also some other like-minded articles in there.)

Note: Before you do any GUI stuff, you're going to want to make sure you have a good base setup. (eg. mm, drivers, fs, etc.)
