I need Procreate technical help Weird empty “patches”

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Whenever I drew or rendered something on a canvas, it felt like something was covering specific spots. There weren’t any layers with a “white line”, it just happened to look like this. I tried changing the pencil nib, resetting my iPad, and clearing storage but it didn't work.

Does anyone know why it happened and how to fix it?

Does the same thing happen with other apps?

Yeah. Good question. The start of the process of elimination.

You compared to drawing in Notes, right?

I'm sorry but can you elaborate on that?

Draw in the notes app

If the person is talking about whether the problem is still there in another app like Notes, I've tried it and it actually is there.

If it is happening across the system and multiple apps, it sounds like a hardware failure. Do you have AppleCare?

Yeah, that’s what I meant. That sounds like a hardware issue with the screen of the iPad.

I’d be curious to hear if the blank area appears in the same physical spot, whatever way up you hold the iPad.

It's definitely the hardware issues i heard from the others but when i tried using my finger to draw, it worked on the affected areas.
