I wish I had a Wacom Tablet Pen! No, I'm using a regular optical mouse and Func Pad (very useful though). I use both tracing and eyeballing, because tracing can be useful to get good proportions on difficult objects (such as the spoiler) but generally it's hard to get a picture with the resolution I draw at, so then I have to blow it up, which causes distortion. The fact that the pictures also have extremely dark areas or areas of low-contrast makes tracing difficult also, so you have to use eyeballing as well. My technique may not work for you, and the key is developing what you're comfortable with. Otherwise, you'll be forcing yourself to adhere to something that may not work for you =)
