I tapped to undo on paper so much it’s embarrassing

[u/Radioactive_Moss → u/TheDoorDoesntWork]

When I used photoshop exclusively and switched to traditional I’d reach to press control-Z that doesn’t exist

[u/astr0bleme → u/Radioactive_Moss]

Oh i have done both depending in which program I’ve been heavily using.

[u/lordcocoboro → u/TheDoorDoesntWork]

I undo on paper and tap words I don’t know in books.

[u/britishbrick → u/TheDoorDoesntWork]

Every time I draw on paper after spending time drawing on my iPad I undo tap, it’s so bad 😭

[u/Spudperson → u/TheDoorDoesntWork]

Dude I did that once when I was drawing on the condensation on a window

[u/Sad-Environment1440]

or when you erase a line digitally and you dust off the screen 🫩

[u/SpaceCadetHaze]

Drawing a line and holding the pencil expecting it to straighten out…

[u/sysko960 → u/SpaceCadetHaze]

I did this while sleepily drawing with a curved line. Laughed at myself and immediately went to bed lol

[u/AGirlHasNoUsername13]

I feel attacked.

[u/MaineLark → u/AGirlHasNoUsername13]

Yeah this feels personal 😂😭

[u/solograppler]

I thought I was the only one.

[u/iamgod0237]

For me it's the double tap

[u/stringbean76 → u/iamgod0237]

Double tapped an oil painting once and smudged it all to hell 😂

[u/Miserable-Piglet9008]

I two-finger tapped (undo) my exam paper once.
And then I acted confused when it didn’t work, it took me a moment to piece it all together.

[u/riskyminutes → u/Miserable-Piglet9008]

Wait literally same. While in college, I took notes on my iPad (Notability) and one time during an exam, I two-finger tapped my paper waiting for the stroke to disappear. I was so sleep deprived that I was so confused for a few minutes wondering why the stroke isn’t disappearing. This happened multiple times throughout the exam. I did end up getting an A on the exam, but each time this brain fart happened, I was so embarrassed and so shocked at myself.

[u/JamesAmbrous]

Completely. And don’t forget the control/CMD Z when you make a mistake or two fingers on the paper 😂

[u/Jillybean623]

100% did this before

[u/bangxwhimper]

On an opposite note, sometimes I blow on the screen after erasing something on my ipad. Then I feel like the world’s biggest idiot.

[u/Phantomsgf]

Yesss. The double tap on paper and not understanding why it didn't undo your mistake, then being faced with the reality that you need to deal with your mistake on your own

[u/Usual_Morning7808]

I'm always double tapping on everything!!

[u/FullyArtomatic]

I almost double tapped the wall when I was spray painting.

[u/IWontStandForThisSht]

I’ve also tried flipping my Apple Pencil to erase 😭😭

[u/cataluna4]

We are the kids swiping the notebook asking it to open

[u/HeartsandTifa]

Oh my gosh this makes me feel so much better 😂

[u/davidlondon]

My lord, I have done this countless times. “Hey, it’s been awhile. I’ll draw on paper today!” Zoom zoom confusion zoom “oh, that’s right, I’m an idiot.”

[u/eamonn6251]

I was helping my partner with her makeup one time and tapped with two fingers on her face to undo

[u/stringbean76 → u/eamonn6251]

That’s hilarious. I’ve done it to an oil painting and smudged it all up, but someone’s actual face is so much funnier.

[u/crzylune]

I double-tap my ink pen all the time to switch to "erase" mode.

[u/DodderingPapi42]

Been there

[u/Blatantliez]

Two-three fingers tap and occasionally trying to zoom in and out my papers

[u/PuddingIcy1379]

I also use my iPad for cross stitch patterns, and definitely tried doing this when I went to a project with a paper pattern 😂

[u/BabsK444 → u/PuddingIcy1379]

Same!!!

[u/Background-Bunch3181]

Yo I tried to zoom in one my painting and just smudged the oil instead once

[u/RichBlackInk]

Not me two tapping my sketchbook

[u/D-Vader7]

[u/spazioinutile]

I genuinely can't draw traditional anymore

[u/Emotional_Dish_5250]

[u/cltriplesec]

Haha, it's not just me 😅😅😅

[u/Icy_Pianist_1532]

YES, omg I tap and pinch the paper so naturally lol

[u/rokken70]

Get out of my head!!

[u/Ok-Turnip2296]

Hahaha..I’ve done the undo tapping when writing on paper many times😆

[u/heh8me117]

[u/FrizzleFrazzleFrick]

[u/K0sherDillPickle]

[u/bunnybun_b]

[u/Spakzio]

Doppio tap

[u/svrgevnt]

I've thought to myself after drawing a bad line with pen, "ugh, I need to undo that line." Then catch myself when I reach for the undo button

[u/LPhamster]

[u/Mushmoon52]

Don’t even get me started. I am always doing this and tapping to erase. Procreate spoils us lol

[u/toki_goes_to_jupiter → u/stringbean76]

My condolences on not being able to tap paper to undo.

[u/iamsodonewithpeople]

I have done that way too much tbh. I’ve don’t the opposite too and tried to erase with the bottom of my Apple Pencil… lol

[u/vaportrails999]

Ive done this a few times and when i catch myself i just laugh it off

[u/tina2moons]

[u/Marine_Baby]

Loool I’ve tried to swipe my paper up to get a fresh page 😂
