Almost everyone involved with Computer Graphics in any way know that WACOM is the leader in tablet mice and other systems for drawing naturally in a digital format. Their ultimate product is the Cintiq Monitor, a monitor that you can draw directly on with a WACOM pen. The pen's pressure sensitivity makes it feel just like drawing the traditional way, and when combined with software that is designed specifically for use with these kinds of tools there is simply no better way to bring your images to life digitally. The tools are endless!
Not all of us can afford the Cintiq, but WACOM offers several other, more affordable, solutions. I use the Graphire 4 and I am completely satisfied. The only thing I would say about a tablet like the Graphire is that it is hard to draw naturally on a surface that has less friction then paper, and is relatively stationary. The Cintiq (or a tablet PC) takes care of this problem. You can rotate it, tilt it, or lean over it to draw on it just like you would with a canvas. It feels totally natural!
Check out all the products on Wacom.com. They even offer free tutorials for how to use their products with photoshop and corel painter to create natural looking paintings with your computer. Here is the link to the tutorials.
