I swear by Wacom Intuous. There is nothing like a Wacom for digital precisness as well as pressure sensitivity. I have a 12 x 12 board and I think they are about $400. If you've never used one before you might start out with the 3x5 (I think that's the size). While smaller, you can still move all over the drawing area, just is more difficult byut the price is only about $125. Either ay, you can't go wrong. Good luck!
