My cousin has autism and is also a great artist, and I’m looking for a way for him to draw on a computer. I’ve gotten him to try a Wacom tablet, but he has trouble making the connection between tablet and screen. What he needs is something that acts more like paper, with the lines appearing under the pen’s tip.

However, I need something which provides pressure sensitivity as well.

Are there any pressure sensitive solutions like this that are up to Wacom’s standards?

Or is there a pressure-sensitive mechanical pencil that is Wacom-compatible, so he can tape a pad on the Wacom, and use that?

The Gateway tablet that I am using at this moment – the whole screen is a Wacom. It works. Please try it out with the pen in Photoshop. Pretty darned good, IMHO.

Most Wacoms have a translucent flap covering the working area that you can put a sheet of paper under and trace over if that’s what you are looking for.

No, I mean a mechanical pencil which is also a Wacom pen. So that one is drawing a *new* line and sees it on the paper as well as the screen. I’ve seen these for some older Wacom’s, but not for the newer tablets.
