Hi, I'm also an artist who mixes traditional and digital. I have a windows laptop and experimented with a graphics tablet, then a Huion digital screen (like cintiq, but way cheaper). I'd say Huion gives 90-95% experience of Cintiq, so would recommend that, or similar approach.
As for iPad Pro, I'm about to get new 2021 model, which I'm excited to use, too. I'll still keep my laptop/Huion set-up as that's great for Photoshop and other creative apps on the laptop/PC environment.
Keep up the good work! Cheers.

Yeah when I looked theya te much much cheaper! Maybe especially for getting started as in the past I retouched photos with a plain Wacom so I guess anything that’s better will be a plus! When you use them how do you take the photos off and does the battery work away from the computer or does it need to be plugged in? Rly not sure how they work at all wifh the built in screens.

The screen I have works like a second monitor. You plug it in via HDMI and USB into the laptop and it acts as a second monitor you can draw on. The pen has lots of touch sensitivity and is really nice to use, but is a little tricky to get the tip of the pen to stay exactly on your cursor - it wanders off slightly over time (but you do get used to it).
As well as using the Huion with a pen as a second monitor for art/photoshop, I also tend to use to for general use, as it's like using a stand-alone tablet, but you interact on the screen. This generally works well for all but a few applications/situations. I'm more used to a tablet/stylus pen than using a mouse, so it's great for me.
So, yes, this Huion solution isn't a stand-alone tablet, it's a monitor you plug in. This means you don't have to worry about saving/transferring from the device, as it's part of your laptop set-up. I'm hoping that this, together with an iPad Pro will cover all the bases as far as digital art goes and give me more options and portability (coffee shop working when that's a thing again).

Yeah, the Huion tablet I have is perfect for home/office and is not portable at all. If you prefer working on the go, the iPad is the better choice. I like to do both, so will add iPad to my set-up/options.
