Artist Rob Zilla shows potential of iPad Pro with Adobe Illustrator Draw, Apple Pencil

You can see this illustrator figured out that the software based palm rejection is inadequate. He's wearing part of a glove on his right hand to prevent accidental input, similar to what I found I had to do. This small, but important flaw prevents the iPad from becoming the ultimate choice for creating digital artwork. It's not the worst thing in the world, but in streamlining one's production process, annoyances like this are critical, so keep this limitation in mind when considering iPad vs. Cintiq (or even Surface Studio).

Yes.

I've been drawing and painting for most of my 67 years. I've NEVER placed my palm against the surface upon which I'm working. I don't know who ever had the idea that artists do that. If you do, you'll smudge your work, if it's with pencils, or other solid working tool, or totally smear if it's a painting. Somehow, it seems that just because we're not using "real" media, leaning against the page should be a priority. I learned in school, all those long years ago, not to do that. I had found out by myself even earlier.

i think it's lazy work. It's improper at the best of times. And the truth is that you lose control when you have your hand contact the surface, because you lose some freedom of movement. You end up moving the Pencil in an arc, instead of a straight line. And that's a natural consequence of having the heel of your hand down on the surface. It becomes a pivot around which your hand moves. It's a terrible practice to get into.

Strange. I remember my art teacher telling me something like that. 
I asked her if that was why I couldn't draw, and she said no, that was just lack of talent; but your point still stands.
