gloves for painting


Recommended Posts

Good afternoon to all.  Sadly when I am drawing/painting on my iPad my hand leaves paint strokes whilst I am using my apple pencil.  I have tried hold the pencil in a different position but this is proving to feel unnatural, are their any sort of gloves that are available to overcome this problem?  Am I alone in experiencing this?  Thank you John

One thing you might want to try (if you haven't done so already) is turn on the "Preferences -> Tools -> Touch for gestures only" preference which greatly reduces accidental drawing/painting from your hand/wrist while using the Apple Pencil. A glove can still help, but I find by enabling this setting it greatly reduces the need for one.

You can get gloves designed for this, which only have two fingers. 

For example: https://www.amazon.co.uk/s?k=artists+gloves&crid=5N7VFHV1VENP&sprefix=artisys+gloves%2Caps%2C69&ref=nb_sb_ss_sc_2_14

Thank you both for your suggestions Brian will try yours first if that does not deal with it I will look at the link that Paul provided.  Cheers John
