If you're ready for the big guns, OR just want to splurge (cough the iPad Pro cough) these might be for you!
Pen tablets are more expensive but much more natural to use, and there are great options like this to explore!

If you're ok with a splurge, I might recommend just going for the iPad Pro, since it is the industry standard and is basically a computer!
