All About Painting Gloves

Modern technologies provide ample opportunities for the emergence of new activities and creativity. One of these activities is graphic drawing or design. But since drawing takes place on a tablet with the help of special devices, it becomes necessary to use gloves. They will also be needed when working on paper.

Many kids and adults like to draw on the tablet. You can create real electronic masterpieces on it. The device can be used by both experienced artists and amateurs, and those who wish to learn drawing.

Such creativity has many convenient sides: for storing works, you do not need to allocate space in the room, there is no need to constantly purchase expensive materials for creativity, there is an opportunity to experiment. All that is required is the installation of quality software.

Drawing on a tablet is the same as on paper: fingers hold a brush or pencil, the hand slides along the plane on which the picture is created. With the inevitable contact of the hand with the drawing, it often happens that the hand can stain the work, smear the paints, and leave sweat marks on the paper. Such places do not lend themselves to painting, since the tools for painting do not write on them. You can, of course, put a blank piece of paper under your arm, but this will create certain inconveniences. In addition to the high probability that a sweaty hand will ruin the work, it will be difficult to slide it on the paper or tablet surface.

When working with a pen tablet, it is very important that the hand glides well, as the transfer of images with the stylus is fast. For the drawing to be clear, the movements must be smooth. Due to the sensitivity of the screen, accidental touching causes blurred images and lines become oblique. Therefore, a special drawing glove becomes necessary for a graphics tablet. It will prevent many problems, protect you from unnecessary touching the screen with your hand, and make your work easier. The quality of labor is improving markedly.

The necessary accessory can be purchased separately, sometimes it is included in the package bundle of the device. Such a signet is a variant of a product familiar to all, but it has a coating for only 2 fingers: the little finger and the ring finger. There are specimens with a coating only for the little finger. The rest of the fingers are free, so the objects for drawing are conveniently located in the hand. You can use it not only for working with a graphics tablet, but also when drawing on paper.

For the manufacture of the product, a soft elastic fabric made of acrylic or lycra, nylon and spandex is useda. There are no lint on it, so friction is minimal. It can be worn both on the right and on the left hand. As a rule, the products are of good quality, they have a comfortable fit that fits tightly around the hand.

Typical characteristics are:

• the use of flexible rubberized material in the manufacture;
• high air permeability of the material, which eliminates the appearance of sweat;
• the product can be washed.

Most often, gloves are black, but you can find products in other shades: blue, burgundy, purple, red.

To prevent the glove from creating inconvenience when working, you need to choose the right size. On sale you can find elastic products of a universal size. They stretch well and can work in most situations. However, for a very large or small - for example, a child's hand, you will have to select a separate product.

The size of the product directly depends on the width of the palm. To determine it, you need to measure the distance between the extreme points of the line that the joints create. A regular ruler or measuring tape is suitable for measurement. The resulting value in centimeters will be the size.

Dimensional grids are placed on the websites of manufacturers and sellers. By comparing the resulting value after measurement with the numbers in the table, you can choose the right product. Products are marked with Latin letters XS, S, M, L, XL. Size M, for example, usually corresponds to a palm width of 8 to 9 cm. With each successive size, the length of the glove also increases. The step is approximately 3 cm.

If you don't have measuring tools at hand, you can use the PDF ruler. When you print this file, you must choose its actual size to get a reliable result. By placing your hand on the drawing of a ruler, you will know the width of your palm. In the case when the hand is between the strokes, the larger size should be chosen.

If for some reason you were unable to purchase a finished product, you can make the necessary accessory yourself. To do this, you will need thin cotton gloves or smooth, soft synthetic fabrics. They will need to carefully remove their thumbs, forefingers, and middle fingers.

but you should carefully select food by texture so that it glides well on the tablet screen or paper and does not leave lint on the fabric. And also there should be no rough side seams on them. Gloves designed for hand care are suitable, for example. They can be found easily in cosmetic stores.
