Apple Pencil Not Working

I just bought the Apple Pencil (2nd Generation) today. It pairs fine with the iPad Pro and is charged to 100%, but it doesn't work when I try drawing in Notes or even for general use. How should I troubleshoot this?

Apple pencil (2nd generation) not working Hello, I just got the pencil and have paired it and it's even charging. My problem is it doesn't work at all. Is it possible it's defective? I have tried everything from resetting my new iPad Air (5th generation). I'm seriously losing it right now. TIA, Lori
