It is a common misconception that throwing a curveball requires a wrist snapping motion during the release of the ball. This is more true for the slider. To properly throw a curveball, the pitcher cocks the wrist inward so that upon release the ball rolls forward over his fingers, creating the desired spin. The Magnus effect then produces a downward force on the ball; this combines with the force of gravity to make the ball curve down.

These guys are all pulling from their online resources and blah blah to tell you what to do. Here's some personal experience.
Turn your fingers on the ball a little when you grip it. Instead of having your fingers completely verticle like you would for a fastball, turn your grip a little bit, put one of the seams between your index and middle fingers with your hand gripping almost horizontal. When you throw the ball, you twist with your fingers, not your wrist.
Another thing, the overhand curve... which is a slower curve with a lot more break... and rather than 12 to 6, it breaks away from a right-handed hitter and down...
You hold your fingers in the shape of a backwards C facing you (for a righty, a forwards C if you're lefty. heh)... and you throw the ball completely overhand and let it roll off your fingers. The result is a slower curve that really moves. Try it, experiment a little until you really see that ball breaking.

Hmmm...kind of a hard thing to describe. It's easier to show in person. First you have to have the right grip. You want your two fingers to both be along the seam of the ball on the right side for righties and left side for lefties. Second it's how you snap your wrist. It's more of a downward motion than a side ways motion. Third, you need to just keep practicing and see what works for you. If it hurts, your probably doing it wrong.

a good grip on the left or right seem and a good snap of the wrist good way to start is near the ear and when you are done the inside of your hand should be near your stomach but practice and a good coach will help to good luck

take a sharpie out to the mound and draw a mean face on the ball, then throw it as a normal curve.

I just attempt to throw my best fastball. It curves anyways.

by releasing it from though the thumb and index finger while you had rides over and down the side of the ball..

Kinda snarl your lip and growl as you throw.
