Drawing Tablets

Drawing tablets allow users to have greater control over their drawing and writing on the computer compared to a mouse or trackpad. These have a stylus that often have pressure sensitivity and directionality to make using one of these feel as close to using a pen as they can make it.

There are two main varieties of drawing tablet. The first are a standard tablet that is more similar to a trackpad where you draw on the tablet and the computer cursor moves as the stylus does around the screen.

The other variety are equipped with a screen where it is more like a touchscreen monitor. These give users more direct control over the design, though this style often costs more than those without a screen.
