I literally have never drawn with an art tablet before so unfortunately, I am unable to relate with your experience. Erik.wallace.395 : For coloring, I just have a basket full of color pencils. I'm actually trying to learn how to put shading (shadows) in my drawings. So far, I've been drawing OC Characters more than Official Characters. Have you tried scanning and Photoshop? I find I can do surprising things even without a tablet. Tablets here just for drawing are unusually expensive and I am not experienced enough to decide what is good quality.

Its simple to colour in Photoshop, just pick a base colour, use the polygon tool to select the area, use paint bucket tool for the selected area, select paint tool and set Black colour to 25% opacity for low lights and White colour at 25% for highlights. Its quick to get the hang of.
