Apple Pencil not drawing in procreate

My Apple Pencil isn’t drawing properly on the procreate app, it works fine to draw on notes and it works to select everything on the procreate app but it won’t draw properly, it seems like it doesn’t sense pressure. I’ve reset all the settings, made sure the opacity and colour were good.

Hi there cooksyd,


Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!


It sounds as though while using your Apple Pencil in the Procreate app you’re noticing it doesn’t seem to be responding to pressure. We’d be glad to assist in seeking a solution.


Let's start with some basic steps that can help. First, let's check to see if the software on your iPad is up to date (iPadOS 13.6.1) and then let's restart your device.


Below are some resources that can help:


Update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

Restart your iPad


Also check to see if there are any app updates available to install:


Update apps or use automatic downloads


If the issue still occurs in the Procreate app after checking out the resources above, we’d advise testing to see if when drawing in the Notes app the Apple Pencil responds to pressure. If it does, we’d advise reaching out to the App developer for further support at:

We hope this helps,

Cheers!
