A drawing tablet, or a graphic tablet, is a tablet or pad that you use a pen to draw on instead of using your mouse. It makes drawing on a computer much easier and on certain programs, can open up new tools and techniques to use. For example, in Adobe Photoshop, using a graphics tablet and pen, you are able to access pen pressure in the brush panel. This is useful if you want to shade and make different parts of an image appear 3D or different sizes. You can access this in the brush presets panel. For example, with pen pressure on, shape dynamics will change the shape of what you are drawing depending on how hard you press. Similarly, color dynamics will alter the color of what you are drawing on a gradient between your foreground and background colors based on how hard you press.
