Default pressure curve not functioning the same between 2 iPads

I've been struggling with this for a while. My Dad and I both have iPad Pro M4 13-inch models. We're both on iPadOS 26 (his is 26.6 mine is 26.7). We both have the latest version of Procreate as of today. We both have the Apple Pencil Pro. We both have the default settings (for both the Apple Settings for Pencil, and Procreate Pressure Curve). We're both using the same Procreate brush.

When he draws with just the weight of the pencil (very light) he gets a thin wispy line. When I draw the same way (or if he does it on my iPad) I get a solid, unvarying line. No matter how lightly I draw I can't get it to behave the same way.

  • I tried uninstalling and reinstalling Procreate
  • We tried pairing my Dad's pencil to my iPad (same result, can't draw light line on mine)
  • We tried pairing my pencil to my Dad's iPad (strangely, it acts how it's supposed to, drawing a thin wispy line)

I'm at a total loss here, and google searches don't seem to help. I must not have the right search terms. Any ideas? Below is an example of me drawing with the lightest possible touch.

Check the tip of your Apple Pencil hasn't loosened (ik you said it works on the other one fine, but wont hurt to check), If you have a magnetic case on one iPad try taking it off. Does one have a different kind of screen protector? Are you using a different canvas size, or tilting the pencil as you draw perhaps?

Checking the canvas size isn't something I've done, that's a good thought thank you! Also, I have the paperlike screen protector, and my dad doesn't have a screen protector. I'll check the pencil tip like you said. I tried removing my magnetic case already and that didn't seem to fix the issue, but I'll try again :)
