Drawing with a tablet is easier and yet not easier at the same time. It's easier because if you're drawing with a tablet, you're obviously using a digital art program and can undo mistakes, paint right over them with ease, or just do a whole lot of stuff that you couldn't do with just pencil and paper.
That said, drawing with pencil and paper or any traditional medium will always feel a lot more natural. I've been using a tablet for 15 years and just when I delude myself into thinking that I can sketch just as naturally on a tablet as I can on paper, I bust out my sketchbook and immediately whip out a whole bunch of drawings way faster than I ever would on the computer. The only tricky part is, if I make mistakes, I have to spend time erasing them or transforming them into something that's not a mistake anymore -- with digital I can just hit Undo. :V
Using a tablet for the first time has a pretty awkward learning curve, because you have to get used to looking up at the screen instead of down by where your hand is (unless you're rich and get a Cintiq :V) -- but it gets easier and easier the more you use it.
