And on Wacom boards, on the few opportunities I used my old one, I used to use it with a trick, that it to always have a smooth, but thick paper or packing paper glued to the surface. The plastic surface is too smooth, for my taste (don'T know how it is with the newer ones), but paper with smooth surface and a weight of 120 or 150 mg per A4 sheet adds the feeling of using a mixture of ballpen and lead pencil when moving the plastic tip of the digital key over it. There is more conbtrol in your movement, it is easier not to stray off with a slight motion of the tip. It feels more naturally.

The apüper must be replaced occasionally, of course, and if you use a pressure sensitive pencil, you may need to readjust the pressure settings for the Wacom board or the painting software, so that you must not use so much pressure anymore and do not cut the paper apart.

Using a piece of paper also works wonders if you want to paint with pastel crayon where you often do not wish to imply much pressure in order to bring only small loads of "paint" onto the canvas.
