This is something you’ll commonly see new or inexperienced iPad artists doing, as they’re just finding it hard to latch onto the idea that they can touch the iPad screen without affecting what’s on it. This feature allows you to rest your hand on the screen while drawing, meaning you don’t need to do the awkward hover of the hand above the screen when you’re drawing. One thing that can take a little getting used to when you’re drawing on a tablet is the clever palm rejection technology. Drawing on the iPad: understand palm rejection What are the thickest and thinnest lines you can draw – and how precise can you get in between? You want this to become an intuitive process, so you have a distinct sense of the quality of lines that different pressure levels will produce.

Load up your drawing app of choice, or just the basic Notes app, and spend some time experimenting with different pressure levels. The only way you’ll be able to get used to how the pressure sensitivity feels and functions is through practice. One of the headline features of the Apple Pencil is the fact that it boasts pressure sensitivity – so take the time to get used to it.
