Drawing tablets come in two types: pen tablets (no screen, draw while looking at monitor) and pen displays (draw directly on screen). Pen displays feel more natural but cause neck strain from looking down. Pressure sensitivity (8192 levels standard) matters for brush control. Tilt recognition adds natural pen behavior. Screen size depends on your work -- larger is better for detailed illustration. Consider the iPad as a portable option with Procreate.
