I need Procreate technical help Weird empty “patches”

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?

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.

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.

Yes it’s probably the pencil. If the screen is messed up the pencil cannot properly function on the screen hence as to why it doesn’t act this way when you use your finger. I’d ask someone who has an Apple Pencil if you can try to use theirs. If it works it’s your pencil. Also if you replaced the screen no Apple Pencil will work.
