This application provides a handwriting drawing method and apparatus, an electronic device, and a readable storage medium. The method is applied to the electronic device, the electronic device includes a touch screen, the touch screen includes a touch panel sensor (TP sensor), and the method includes: performing a handwriting drawing operation in response to detecting that a stylus moves close to the touch screen and a capacitance change amount of the TP sensor is greater than or equal to a first threshold; and stopping the handwriting drawing operation in response to detecting that the stylus moves away from the touch screen and that the capacitance change amount of the TP sensor is less than a second threshold, where the first threshold is different from the second threshold.
