Unlike other hobbies, you won’t need to keep spending money to use it. I know it seems like a lot to spend, but if you are serious about drawing digitally (even is just as a hobby), it’s an investment that is well worth the money. Use it for awhile before you decide if you want to step up to a display type device or just a larger tablet. It’s $100 at Amazon, and comes with a two year license for Clip Studio Paint. If you’re just starting out, your best bet is likely to buy the Wacom Intuos Comic tablet. I’m looking to replace it someday, probably with an XP-Pen display.) ( May 2022 update: My Yiynova, sadly, took a beating for 7 years and then died. ( Here’s a good review of the Yiynova 19″ that I found useful in making my decision.) I use a Yiynova 20″ display, for example. The Wacom Cintiq rules the roost in that market, though Amazon and Monoprice have far cheaper alternatives that are pretty good, too. At that point, you should look into a digital pen display. Ultimately, if you get far enough, you might find that hindering your skills. It will take some getting used to to draw on a tablet while looking at the computer screen. Those Monoprice/Huion stylii feel fragile in comparison. They all worked just fine for me, though the Wacom felt heavier and less flimsy. Those stylii are impossible to replace now, which is why I moved to a Monoprice special (which is the same as the Huion H610, basically) after that. I used a Wacom tablet for a decade before the stylus that went with it died. If you want to go cheaper, Monoprice offers a couple off-brand options for you. If you go with the Intuos Comic it even comes with a limited time (two years) version of Clip Studio Paint.

Wacom’s base model is the Intuos and can be had for under $100. If you’re just starting, I’d recommend getting a (relatively) cheap tablet to draw on. I wouldn’t recommend that, but it’s been known to happen. There are people who use CSP with a mouse.
