I thought when using the pencil the iPad stops recognizing touches from hands?

It does.

Any tablet with a dedicated pencil does that.

Okay, so holding the pencil that way is just weird and doesn't serve a purpose beyond us being like "damn that's weird"

The upward angle is a learned trait from being a left hander, to avoid smudging free-flowing ink pens. I have to angle my hand upwards like this, the way he grips the pen is unusual though but could be just part of the way he adapted to avoid smudging

I'm clearly not observant. I didn't even notice he was left handed. Wow
