Recommended tablet/software for game art and animation?

Hello! I’m a digital media teacher at a residential facility for middle and high school boys. One way many of our students decompress is by drawing. I was curious if anyone could recommend a tablet or software they would enjoy for game art and animation work? Something that doesn’t have a difficult learning curve or that requires expert design skills to use.

I was looking at the Artist 15.6 Pro. Thoughts? It was the first thing that came up. Any other recommendations you have are deeply appreciated by myself and the students! They’d be overjoyed to have something like this.

Thanks, everyone!
