Can’t draw in pixel persona on iPad


Recommended Posts

For some unknown reason the program will not let me draw when in pixel persona. I’ve tried in new drawings, old drawings and all I see the the rope stabilizer move around but nothing happens. I can go into another program like ProCreate and I can draw fine. The Vector persona works fine.

Hi DeadArtist :)

Sorry to hear you're having trouble, with the Paint Brush tool selected please make sure you context options are correctly set (ie not at 0% opacity) and you've selected a colour from the Colour Studio

Please try opening the Brushes Studio and changing your current brush, are your strokes visible now?

If not, could you please provide a screen recording of this issue? If you're unsure how to record your screen you can find out here - https://support.apple.com/HT207935

Please note -

I am currently out of the office for a short while whilst recovering from surgery (nothing serious!), therefore will not be available on the Forums during this time.

Should you require a response from the team in a thread I have previously replied in - please Create a New Thread and our team will be sure to reply as soon as possible.

Many thanks!

Make sure you do not have protect alpha turned on.

I'm having the same problem. I can draw in the vector persona, but not in pixel persona on my ipad pro. Opacity is 100%, line colour is black. It didn't matter which brush I choose. The lines I draw are not visible on artboard. Please help.

Have you checked protect alpha is off in context menu?

Exactly that. It prevents you painting on transparent regions. 🙂
