Help Any way to make a pen tablet work with an Android tablet?

I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab S 8.4 and a Wacom Intuos Tablet. They can connect through an OTG cable; the Tab S recognizes the pen tablet as a mouse, however when I tried to draw or at least move my cursor around, nothing happens. I need to know if it is even possible for the Tab S to recognize the movements of the tablet, and if it is, what are the requirements for it to work. Here's a list of things I've done(may get updated):
  1. Swap the OTG cable and the pen tablet's cable. [Nothing happens]
  2. Used the USB OTG Checker app on the Tab S to see if any settings are available. [It displays a loading screen with no signs of stopping.]
And here's a list of things I'm probably going to do if all else fails:
  1. Perform vivisection on pen tablet and mouse, see how they work, and work out how I can make them compatible.
  2. Find out a way to make the Wacom Tablet driver to work with the Android OS.
  3. Tamper with the code of the pen tablet and/or Tab S, analyze the codes/errors, fix them as necessary.
 
Hello, were you able to make it work? I try using S8 Plus with the otg adapter that came with it to connect with my One by Wacom tablet. But nothing happen, only the light shows on the tablet that is connected. I search everywhere for the solution and I see some older Wacom bamboo tablet were able to work.
