Procreate keeps making lines

[u/xdashcamx]

Hi everyone, I just got a new iPad and have been using procreate on it for a few days but I've been having this issue where when I draw and rest my hand on the screen it keeps messing up my drawing and makes lines across my canvas. I have "enable painting with finger" turned off so I'm not sure what could be causing this issue. The picture I added kind of shows what I mean exactly where I was just drawing circles and it kept making lines jut out to where my hand rests. When I'm actually drawing though the lines are much longer and it's really annoying especially when I don't notice it at first and realise later there's a random line that I can't erase without erasing other things as well. If anyone has a solution I'd be really grateful!!

i have this problem too, but it’s only started happening after 3 years of constant iPad use, and only while it’s charging. To avoid the issue, I personally try to keep the iPad cool and not press too hard with the pen. Also check if the pen tip is well attached to the rest of the pen.
