Drawing gloves

Overview

You may notice that some tablet users wear drawing gloves. Sometimes these gloves even come in the tablet box. Unlike a normal glove, a drawing glove usually covers only the last two fingers and leaves the other fingers uncovered.

Why people use drawing gloves

  • The gloves keep the tablet surface free from sweat and oil from your hand. This is very useful for screen tablets.

  • Sometimes people don't like the feeling of their hand on the tablet surface.

  • For touch-sensitive tablets, you can wear a glove to improve palm rejection. This prevents your hand from accidentally interrupting your strokes.

  • For screen tablets, the screen may generate some heat. The glove may keep your hand from feeling it as much.

Do you have to use a drawing glove?

No. I don't think most people use them, but many do — especially with screen tablets. At the very least, they are worth trying.

Cleaning the gloves

Some people wash them with regular laundry. Others hand-wash them with a mild detergent.
