  Okay.  So, assuming that your fingertip is actually quite a bit
wider than the stroke that you are trying to create, and you already
have other strokes on screen immediately adjacent to where you are
trying to work, and if your fingertip is obscuring those previous
strokes, how can you see exactly what you are doing and where you are
doing it?

  I have not tried any drawing using a tablet as small as an iPhone or
iPad.  And, I have only worked with a stylus having a fine tip, such
as on a pencil.  Yes, one can always set the stroke width, but with a
nice stylus you can also see exactly where you are working relative to
previous strokes or shapes that have been created.

  I am not trying to be argumentative at all.  It is just that when I
try to do some intricate freehand drawing, perhaps a number of fine
parallel lines about 1 millimeter apart, I prefer to be able to see
existing lines as i draw new ones.  How can I see through my
fingertip?
