iPad Pro drawing issues... please help

Two questions. Does it happen with other software as well (like Apple's Notes) and do you have mutitouch gestures turned on or off (like for the five-finger app close, 4-finger swipe to switch apps, etc).

It could be a Procreate issue, which in that case would be unique to that app and not indicative of a hardware or OS fault. And while I haven't tested with the iPP and Pencil, I know that for passive styli, having the multitouch gestures turned on would sometimes cause software-based palm rejection to fail or activate other functions.

 

Another thing to consider is that your Pencil could be defective and isn't registering. Try deleting the Pencil from the Bluetooth device list and re-pairing.

 

Maybe refer to this to see if it helps.

Otherwise, you probably have better luck asking and posting the video on the Procreate forum.

 

The tip of your pencil is loose. Screw it back on tightly.

 

I need to screw the tip back in on an almost daily basis. Maybe it's Apple's skeuomorphic representation of needing to sharpen the pencil.

 

Even if you have Procreate setup to only allow gestures for finger/hand input your palm can "look" like a two-finger gesture. That will make the canvas rotate or zoom while you're drawing. It's happened to me. Couldn't figure it out at first.

 

But its flawless!

 

I don't know what you're doing, because I definitely don't have the same issue. Occasionally if I'm resting my palm beside the iPad and drag it onto the screen from the border it registers as a finger input briefly but typically self-corrects once it registers the Pencil. Looks like something similar is happening in your video sometimes because you rest your palm on the border.

 

I've got Procreate setup so it's impossible to draw anything with my fingers (or hand). Look under the IOS Settings for the Procreate App. Procreate ignores everything except for my pencil.

 

I have seen palm issues with procreate demoed on several videos on you tube.

Yes. I hope this is a developer issue. good luck!

 

Do any drawing apps have a "pin" option so you have to tap an area on the screen in order for the canvas to move? If not, this would be a great option to defeat unintended movements.
