[comp.sys.mac] Pencil/ graphics tablet input?

dl1@ukc.ac.uk (D.Langford) (10/06/89)

A friend has asked me to suggest how his son, an artist, can use a
Mac to produce line art. The problem is that he doesn't like using the
mouse for drawing - he'd prefer 'something like a pencil', which is
the medium he's used to. (I have heard that drawing with the mouse is
rather like using a cake of soap!)

Main hardware would probably be a big screen IIcx - any suggestions
about what input device would be best? Does anyone make a graphics tablet
(I know Apple /used/ to make one.. but I haven't seen it lately); and
what software should I suggest that he buys?

Any help appreciated.
