The reason why it is so hard is because the tablet likely does not have a screen; rather, it's just a pen-sensitive surface. It allows you more degrees of freedom than what a mouse can, but it doesn't let you actually "see" what you're drawing.

There are newer drawing tablets which are like iPads, which show your drawing program on its screen, and I'm sure, it's a lot easier to "digitally draw" with those, since you can actually see your canvas.
