APPLE PENCIL CONNECTED TO IPAD AND CHARGED BUT WILL NOT DRAW

Verify that your Apple Pencil is compatible with your iPad:

Apple Pencil compatibility - Apple Support

Assuming that your Apple Pencil is compatible with your iPad, this support page may be helpful with pairing and use of the Pencil with your iPad:

Ensure that the replaceable plastic pencil tip is screwed firmly into the body of the Apple Pencil; even a slightly loosened tip will cause issues. When correctly positioned, there should be a tiny gap (of about the thickness of a sheet of paper) between the tip and the body of the Pencil.

Has your Pencil ever been dropped onto its tip? If so, this is a common cause of difficulties - as the transducer (beneath the replaceable pencil tip) that interacts with the iPad screen can be easily damaged.

If you continue to experience difficulties, here is one of the better troubleshooting guides:

Be aware that if your Pencil has been set-aside for an extended period, unused and uncharged, the Pencil battery may now be irretrievably damaged through deep discharge. In common with all Li-ion batteries, they must always have some level of charge.

The tiny internal Li-ion battery is susceptible to permanent/irreversible damage through being left discharged for long periods. Even some “new” pencils can exhibit signs of failure out-of-the-box if they are “old stock”. 

It is essential that if you have an Apple Pencil that you charge it regularly - whether used or not - so as to protect the battery from deep-discharge. Do not allow a pencil to remain in low-charge state for any period of time - as the internal battery will fail, rendering the Pencil useless. Setting aside an unused Pencil, for extended periods, is a recipe for premature death of the Pencil battery.

If the Pencil Battery has failed, the only remedy is to replace the Pencil. If the battery has failed and your pencil is within its one-year warranty, you should look to having it replaced by your retailer or at an Apple Store.

Some reports suggest that gentle warming of the Pencil (such as a hot water radiator) prior to attempting charging of the Pencil can resurrect a Pencil battery.

Yes, your question was indeed read - and MY time was invested in attempting to provide YOU with information that might provide a working Pencil.

Being rude to those attempting to help you is neither constructive nor helpful.
