The tablet view may be just a window onto a much larger design.

Graphics tablets and drawing tablets use the computing power of laptops or desktops, so they can handle the huge, detailed drawings required for architectural design and similar purposes. XP-Pen’s Artist16 Pro has been getting good reviews. Wacom is still a major player with drawing tablets such as the Cintiq 13HD, but there are cheaper options. Later we got drawing tablets, where the blank surface of the graphics tablet has been replaced with a screen. In this case, you draw on the tablet with a stylus and your pen-strokes appear on a separate screen. At first, artists mainly used graphics tablets connected to personal computers, with Wacom becoming the dominant brand.
