Morning crossover. I assume "play continuously" means when moving up and down the harmonica in a song. And "problem with draw the holes" is that they sound flat, airy and possibly squeal. This is commonly caused by pushing the tongue too hard on the face of the harmonica (and possibly your lips). Remember to use a light touch on the face of the harmonica with your lips and tongue. If you're not able to cover enough holes unless you push, use more of the top of the tongue further back in your mouth, it's wider and easily covers the three holes needed.
Yes, I recommend you purchase (or make for yourself) a tongue bock trainer, it's a great tool. Also watch my videos again on tongue blocking (Tongue Block Study 1, Tongue Block Study 2.5 and all of Hob Bosold's videos), these will help to reinforce good technique.
Keep at it, you'll get it.
