I am learning to write in Hindi script and I want to be able to practice writing on lined paper.
I can create a new blank, lined document in Pages on my iPad but my Apple Pencil will only let me start a new drawing on the page. Does anyone know how I can get Pages to accept writing instead of automatically assuming I want to draw a picture every time?

I do not think this is possible with the free Pages app.

I am able to type in Devanagari (the Hindi script) with most apps on my iPad since that can be set up as an option via the general settings for keyboards, although Hindi is not yet available in the new Apple Translate app.
What I particularly want to do, though, is to practice my handwriting using the pencil and lined paper is best for that but in Pages it always defaults to the drawing mode. I can work around this but I was hoping to find a simpler way.
Are you able to write Hindi in some other app?
I don't see that language on Apple's list of what is supported at this time
iOS and iPadOS - Feature Availability - Apple
Thanks for your suggestions. I'll take a look at these and see if there is one that is suitable.
