Similar to an artist drawing with a pencil and paper, the user draws on the graphics tablet with a stylus. This means the user inputs in a natural way, which is helpful in many input activities like digital art, handwriting practice, photo and video editing etc. The computer will convert the drawing strokes into digital form, displaying them on the computer screen.
