    The Power of the Eraser

    The eraser is often thought to be just for getting rid of ‘mistakes’. However, the eraser is just as powerful a mark-making tool as the pencil. Erasers come in different forms:

  • Kneadable or putty eraser A versatile eraser that can be moulded into different shapes. Dab it, stroke it, rub it to get a wide range of textures and makes. Great for softening transitions. As they get dirty you can clean them by stretching and folding into itself although at a certain point they do get hard - but skill keep them as just as useful!
  • White plastic eraser Good for clearing large areas. Can cut into 'wedges' to get narrow points for getting into those tricky areas.
  • Eraser pencils These come in all shapes and sizes but useful for small areas but also for ‘drawing’ with.

    • I always have a clutch of erasers in my drawing kit. It’s worth spending some time playing with them and experimenting with creating different marks and textures and then introduce these into your drawings to create interest. For practical reasons I keep a separate set of erasers for drawing with graphite and charcoal.
