For practice:
Put your reference image in one layer
Set that layer's opacity to 50% or so
Paint in a second layer as you see fit

The monitor/tablet combinations are VERY VERY EXPENSIVE, even though they're quite cool.

This is something that simply takes lots and lots and lots of practice, there's no overnight "presto, you can draw!" tutorial.  It's also a major disadvantage of drawing on a tablet that you generally can't turn it as easily as you can turn a piece of paper - most people cannot draw smooth lines in all orientations regardless of how much practice you have.

Shaky lines can be cleaned up fairly easily with eraser tool, with things like the Smudge tool, or various filters like Liquefy (or corel equivalent).
