Apple pencil writes random things or does not work properly if my wrist is touching the ipad pro screen

Is anyone else having issues with apple pencil not working properly? I am using "collanote" app but when I'm using my apple pencil and my wrist or fingers touch the screen then the pencil doesn't work properly and writes lines /other things. How can I fix this ? Is it just the pencil not working or is there a settings for the iPad pro ?

iPad Pro, iPadOS 17

Apple pencil not writing on some parts of the screen Mostly mu apple pencil 2 is writing well at my ipad mini but occassionally it is not writing on some part of a page (eg writing a word and a few letters don’t turn up on the page). Sometimes when I keep trying it sill work, sometimes not. I think it is on the same part of the ipad most of the time though not always. It feels to me it is a ipad problem not a pencil problem? Somebody have any idea how to fix it? Or just go to the Apple store (both ipad and pencil pretty new). Thank you! 🙏🏼

Apple pencil not working properly I recently bought an iPad 9th generation and an apple pencil 1st generation. From the begging when i write (mostly i use goodnotes but it happens in other apps as well) sometimes it stops writing and its very annoying, most of the time i have to write randomly in another part of the page to make it work and it happens very often. I tried a few things: -Reconnecting the pencil -Restarting the iPad -Restoring the iPad -Writing without the case I thought the problem was the apple pencil but it turns out it works perfectly in other devices. Any ideas of what can I do?

Apple Pencil not writing smoothly My new Apple Pencil couldn’t writing smoothly on my new iPad Pro 11 4th gen. Both fully charged, on same wifi,using latest OS. It writes for a while then couldn’t write and able to write again shortly if I touch the screen to do things like expanding the screen. Is very frustrating when I try to write to teach my students Math from a pdf worksheet I saved in my file. Anyone experienced the same? How to solve this problem?
