Hi, my daughter has creative cloud on a windows pc. She would like a drawing tablet to use in conjunction with the software. I don't have a clue about this, I'm just the cash cow ready for milking. Can anyone who knows what they are talking about advise on what is required? She does have an iPad Pro could that be used? Thanks for any help.

    I strongly recommend XP-Pen products for your daughter or Xencelabs or Huion. Wacom has been the industry standard but big $$$. Recently the others I mentioned have been proving to be legit Wacom competitors. I used Wacom products for decades and recently switched to XP-Pen and couldn't be happier for less than 1/2 the cost of a Wacom.

    You can search for the term 'drawing tablets' in online stores like Amazon; dozens of brands, models and prices to choose from.

    As far as brands go I'd recommend Wacom, Huion and XP-PEN. Wacom is the best one but also the most expensive. Huion is a middle-range brand in terms of price, great hardware and more affordable than Wacom. XP-PEN is the most affordable brand out of the three, though I heard their tablets are still superb.

    As for specific models, there are so many I would look for artists reviews on YouTube and see what they recommend. Here's a couple of them to get you started: https://youtu.be/W-LTpm8PIn8
