Description

Kneadable putty erasers work by absorbing colour, they do not wear away. They can be very soft or quite stiff, but are not abrasive. Triangles are used to draw vertical lines and other lines at set angles. Rest the triangle on theT-square blade and slide it along the blade to the desired location. Draw the full length of thevertical line in one pass if possible. Hold the blades of the T-square and the triangle together toprevent movement when you are drawing, and hold the pencil point as close as possible to For subtractive drawing, (lifting out the highlights), putty or kneaded erasers work best for lifting general areas of highlight as they lift the graphite off cleanly. The edges of the lifted areas will be soft unless the eraser is pushed through the hole of an erasing shield.

It is easier to erase graphite that has been gently applied to the surface of the paper because the graphite is lying on top of the paper tooth. When you bare down on the pencil it not only flatten the tooth of the paper damaging it, but also force graphite into the micro texture of the paper. No amount of erasing can get into these micro pores so you will always have a ghost image remaining after erasing. The more easily a graphite mark will smudge – the more easily it will erase. So no matter how lightly you draw with a hard pencil (6H) it will be harder to erase than a soft pencil (HB or 2B). From now on I will use a lightly applied softer pencil for any sketching that I wish to erase after watercolour or ink have been added. Faber Castell Latex Free Eraser, Cream and Grey, natural rubber (two sides: one for graphite and colour pencils and the other for ink.) A flexi-curve, also known as a flexible curve or flex curve is a flexible drawing tool that can be moulded to almost any curve or contour. It is usually made from lead which is wrapped in steel ribbons and covered in flexible plastic or rubber. They are used to draw curves such as lines connecting points on a pattern.

How it performed: Best one on graphite lines and same as the others on coloured pencil. Fine on removing the graphite under pigment liner pens and didn’t lighten the ink. It didn’t remove too much watercolour paint but didn’t erase the graphite at all so was bad at that task. Was very hard to knead between dabs and rubs.

Koh-I-Noor Big Soft Elephant Eraser – natural rubber – oversized giant eraser, can be cut into many smaller erasers in the shapes you desire or makes a fun gift. (This product has now been discontinued)You can carve into firm erasers to create a printing stamp similar to lino cutting but with the carved eraser you can print just by pressing down, like a rubber stamp. Caran D’ache Artist Soft Eraser – Recommended for Drawing Paper (phthalate free) – extra soft, non-abrasive, not for ink Lay out all the drafting tools that you use and separate them into piles of like items. Place all pencils together, markers, erasers, rulers, stencils, paper and miscellaneous. Using the cleaner, spray the cloth and wipe down supplies that have residue on them.

We are constantly updating our ranges to meet the needs and requirements of the artists who shop with us. We have a selection of new erasers which are all suitable for different styles; some are great for precision erasing and adding highlights to pencil drawings, while some are great for erasing large sections of graphite. Staedtler Combi Mars Plastic Eraser White & Blue– (two sides – one for graphite and coloured pencils and the other for ink) (phthalate and latex free) How it performed: Fine on light graphite lines and same as the others on coloured pencil. Fine on removing the graphite under pigment liner pens and didn’t lighten the ink. It didn’t damage the watercolour paint but didn’t erase the graphite at all so was pointless at that task. This was one of the easiest to use and performed well at subtractive drawing with charcoal and at the two-step coloured pencil erasing as well as some graphite erasing – if you are just doing those things then this might be a good choice.

Interesting fact no. 1: the original eraser was a squashed up piece of soft bread. You can still use bread if you don’t have a rubber, just pinch out the centre of a slice. The makes of putty rubber vary a lot in softness- from very soft and melty to super stiff almost like a hard rubber eraser.
