What it concludes

Cheap pen tablets like the Wacom Draw provide good value and are much better than drawing with a mouse.
Display tablets like the Wacom One act as a second monitor and remove the disconnect between hand and eye.
Free painting software like Krita, MediBang Paint Pro, and Autodesk SketchBook have no paywalls and are ideal for beginners.
Clip Studio Paint and Procreate offer complete toolsets at a relatively low, one-time purchase price.
Disabling Windows Ink in tablet settings can resolve interference issues with pen pressure and tablet functionality.
Soft brushes are recommended for shading, while hard brushes should be avoided to prevent harsh, unblended brush strokes.
