Drawing glove for iPad
I'd really like to draw more on my iPad but I like to rest my hand on the screen doing so, which registers as a stroke along with the pen.
I've been looking around for a proper gadget for this problem, some kind of drawing glove for the iPad, but haven't found any.
I tried a couple of gloves myself but they're either too thick (clumsy) or too thin (hand registers with screen).
Anyone here drawing frequently on the iPad with a good DIY glove suggestion or link to a product?
From a FAQ of Smudge Guard:
Unfortunately, the current SG gloves are not compatible with the iPad at all. The SG glove does not prevent detection on the iPad. :(
However, please note that recently, two other customers of mine bought the SG glove and tested it while sketching on the Autodesk Sketchbook Pro. They said it did not prevent accidental strokes with their palm because the material/fabric was not thick enough. But cleverly, my two other customers then tried slipping in a microfiber cloth, (folded in half) into the side of the glove. The microfiber they used, were those little rectangular shaped cloths that are made to clean eyeglasses. They inserted it into the glove (where the edge of the hand is) and they said it worked! The iPad didn't detect the side of their hand.
There is also an info they started working on a fully-iPad compatible glove. Microfiber option could work with any thin glove, perhaps.
Have you tried bikers' gloves (the fingerless kind)?
Or, take your thick gloves and cut the fingers off (maybe leaving the pinky finger). This should give you your manual dexterity (fingers are free) but the iPad won't detect your hand.
Now there is one: TheHandGlider.com Although I made my own: take a pair of trouser socks in the women's section at Target (around $7). Double them up, leave one side intact to hold one or two fingers (I left it big enough for two fingers because of resting my ring and pinky on the screen) cut off the rest so your other fingers are free, and sew it up. The double thickness did the job, plus it kinda cleans my screen as I move along...
