Best drwawing erasers according to redditors

This eraser is seriously the best ever. I've been drawing for almost 20 years and I will never use another eraser. You can get them at any Micheal's or Pearls or any other art supply store, but I usually buy them in bulk to offset the shipping.

and maybe something like this may help? https://www.amazon.com/SE-Illuminated-Dual-Flip-Magnifier/dp/B003UCODIA/ref=sr_1_16?crid=14P7OOC4DPSD4&keywords=magnifier%2Bwith%2Blight&qid=1573913544&sprefix=magnifi%2Caps%2C156&sr=8-16&th=1

and i use this to hold components and board in place while soldering: https://www.amazon.com/June-Gold-Kneaded-Rubber-Erasers/dp/B074DC4F7G/ref=sr_1_12?crid=1QYF5TLM7IU2G&keywords=moldable+eraser&qid=1573913686&sprefix=moldable+%2Caps%2C158&sr=8-12

I like this Derwent eraser:

My Prismacolors seem to sharpen fine. This is the sharpener I use for them:

If you want to get rid of eraser shavings you can invest in one of these http://www.amazon.com/Sanford-Design-Kneaded-Rubber-Eraser/dp/B002ZZBSPY/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1458056242&sr=8-1&keywords=design+kneaded+eraser I've used them for awhile and they're reusable. It basically functions to lift the graphite off of the paper.

Don't be afraid! Your drawing will pop. I can't wait to see it. It's going to look awesome!

Use a kneaded eraser which should remove most of the graphite and then apply charcoal. The problem with darker graphite pencils (4B and softer) is that graphite shine. Charcoal is the answer. Blacker than black and no shine!

There's a lot of art pencil sets like this that you can find online or at art specialty stores like Michael's or Hobby Lobby that are good for beginning. Don't worry about the big pencil sets that have every grade available--you really don't need all that right away, and probably wouldn't use most of them anyway.

For pencils, I'd start with just a 2H, an HB or F, a 2B, and maybe a 4B. This gets you a decent range of light to dark. You can add in a layout or black colored pencil for when you want to go really dark.

Find yourself a white eraser or a kneaded eraser, a good sketchbook with 60 or 70lb paper (or copy paper like a printer uses is a super cheap alternative). I'd personally recommend drawing without an eraser at the ready for a while in order to train yourself to learn from any mistakes and to be more economical and thoughtful with your lines among other things.

When you get more confident using those tools, you can add in other pencil grades, blending tools (like a tortillon, stump, or chamois), or even graduate to charcoals.

I hope that helps with getting you going! Sometimes it's easy to get caught up in what we think we need in order to draw that we forget that the most important thing is to grab whatever you have at the ready along with a piece of paper and start drawing.

(Side note: I'm not selling anything and am unaffiliated with the products linked to-- they're just examples.)

For fine point the best thing I've used is a square eraser, you know the ones used to erase pencils. get a good quality one for like 3$. It erases the lines real smooth, and you can use the corner of the square eraser for "detail erasing."

Lighter Fluid doesn't work great with fine point, and in general you shouldn't need a solvent to do clean up. If you need to completely erase 100% of your line work because of a big derp, use 99% isoproyl rubbing alcohol.

Exact erasers I use: https://www.amazon.com/Prismacolor-Premier-Magic-Erasers-3-Count/dp/B005ENNEJW/

Man I wish I can go back to the days of using the eraser.

Good luck!

Or invest in a reliable mechanical pencil, an awesome eraser, and some refillable lead.

That being said, I do always have my favorite pen with me, which I use for dealing with statements/problems, while my actual work is done in pencil.

First off, I think this is the most elaborate contest I've ever participated in, so congratulations for that :P Fear cuts deeper than swords. I hope some of my items are awesome enough for some extra credit ;) Also I wasn't sure if duplicates are allowed. I will revise if necessary.

1.) Something grey and it's been on my wishlist.

2.) Rain, well not technically rain, she is a water bender :P Previously on my wishlist.

3.) Unusual, I think this is something I would use like twice a year. With ice cream or cereal.

4.) Someone else My sister and I want to start playing tabletop games. Previously on my wishlist.

5.) "Book" I took a little bit of liberty with this one because it's a graphic novel. But it's Batman, so...(Previously on my wishlist).

6.) Under a dollar.

7.) Cats There's a catbus in it, which is pretty much the best part of the movie. Previously on my wishlist.

8.) Beautiful As a Star Wars fan having the original trilogy on Blu Ray would be beautiful to me. I love high definition movies, especially ones that are aesthetically pleasing. Previously on my wishlist.

9.) Movie As a Browncoat, I would encourage anyone who has a remote interest in Sci-Fi to give this a chance. Previously on my wishlist.

10.) Zombie tool I don't think this needs explanation.

11.) (Updated) Useful for future. I have a desire to create meaningful video games. Previously on wish list.

12.) Add on I actually had this on my wishlist but removed it because add-on items are lame.

13.) Most expensive As previously stated, I want to be a game developer/designer so not only would it be fun to play with, I could create with it too. Previously on list.

14.) Bigger than breadbox Total in the box it is bigger than a breadbox. Previously on wishlist.

15.) Bigger than a golf ball It's a large book. Previously on wishlist.

16.) Smells good As a guy...I enjoy the scent of lavender.

17.) Safe for children toy I don't think this needs any introduction of why it's awesome.

18.) Back to school drawing helps keep me sane. Previously on my list.

19.) Current obsession I'm a noob to tabletop games. But have been wanting to get into it obsessively within the past month or so. And this also takes my love of A Song of Ice and Fire into the mix. Previously on list.

20.) [Amazing] (http://www.amazon.com/Sony-XBR-65X900A-65-Inch-120Hz-Ultra/dp/B00BSREQI6/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1376281533&sr=8-4&keywords=4k+tv) I've seen one of these in person at the mall and it literally made me stop walking the resolution was so incredible. I know it's as expensive as dicks...but man...when these are affordable...

Bonus 2) Made in Oregon I would have put Tillamook Ice Cream, since it's pretty awesome...but alas not on Amazon.

Edit: Changed an item because I saw it won't count because it's a duplicate.

I have the same problem I think. For me, it doesn't really flake off though, it kind of smears off. Also, it happens with some colors and not others — usually really pigmented ones. People say light layers help, but some colors seem impossible to me; Dahlia and Peacock Blue come to mind.

For a wax pencil, I personally prefer Derwent Coloursoft — the color stays where I put it, no matter how pigmented, and I'm not stuck with having to do light layers.

My favorite is Polychromos, which are oil-based. They're very high quality and not cheap, so after buying a lot of pencils, I went with the option to buy the 60 pack with a free sharpenert (works better than my hand crank one tbh) on Amazon, and got the individual colors I wanted from Dick Blick - the 60 pack comes with a booklet containing all of their colors, and there are swatches on the Dick Blick website, which made it easy.

Also, I just got the Arteza 60 pack gel pens which are around $20 and work really, really well. Gelly roll are considered top of the line, and although I have a set of their whites that I love and some colors, they're quite expensive, and the tip is very thick, so I prefer others for coloring most of the time.

Here are some things I always recommend to new colorists that will work with any brand —

Derwent burnishers, blenders, vinyl eraser and sharpener

Derwent electric eraser

Faber-Castel Eraser Pencils

[BTSKY cases] (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01BXZFNJI/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_6vaTAbHACFY0W) there are lots of other sizes/styles/materials, but I think the book style is the easiest way to organize pencils.

I dug into it and photo-resist looks like the way to go. There is a product called RapidMask which doesn't even require rinsing before use, and I think that is what is in my picture. You just zap it, stick it on, peel off the top sheet, and blast. The UV-exposed material disintegrates under the abrasive spray, and once you are done etching you wash off the mask with water.

I already have one of these guys, just a name brand version of the tool you posted:

http://www.amazon.com/Paasche-AEC-K-Air-Eraser-Kit/dp/B0001I2ASG

I have used it a couple of times and it's great, very easy to get a good effect.

All of those kits I've ever seen have been aimed squarely at beginners and are pretty low quality. Your best bet would probably be to go the DIY route. I don't know anything about charcoal, but on the pencil side, here are some ideas:

• Lead holder - 2mm is probably the size to aim for, but if they already have one that size or they like to draw really large then 5mm could be a good option too. Can also get a pencil sharpener for it. I really like this one for 2mm.
  
  
• Kneaded eraser - I like these faber castell ones because they come with a little case which helps keep them from getting gross.
  
  
• Sketchbook(s) - tons of options here. I'd recommend going to an art store and looking for one that catches your eye, as there can be a lot of variation in paper quality/texture that can be tough to compare online. Toned paper could also be a different option.
  
  
• Blending stumps - whether or not these are useful depends a lot on her style, but even if she's not currently using them they could be fun to play around with and they're cheap.
  
  
• Pencil case/sketchbook case - sketchbook cases come in a variety of sizes/shapes. You could probably find one to pair with whatever size sketchbook they typically use. There are also some nice pencil cases that have organized spaces to put things rather than just dumping it all in a bag.

Stuff like this might be good. Sort of thing I use and I love them.

Oh gosh, my little boy is starting Kindergarten, then my fiancé and I both attend college which is starting back up.

Any of these things would be great! erasers, dry erase markers, or glue sticks

My guesses for your questions. Orange is the new black for the show,maybe Hunger Games for the movie. Animal Crossing for the game, and The Road for the book.

This contest is great. Bill Hader

I bring lots of the same stuff you do. 5 sets of game science dice (hand colored), and a couple sets of loaner dice.

A Few other non-dice things can be useful (since you mentioned stuff like glass beads):

• 3x5 notecards with a sharpie (write buffs, compass roses, or other important info on them and place on the map)
  
• Mardi Gras dice necklace cut up into single pieces (nice to denote things like torches in walls), and 3's (perfect for marking doors and other things).
  
• Kneaded erasers to do random modeling at the table. Make spiritual weapons, little ramps/tables, and more on the fly.
  
• Probably outside the scope of little knick-knacks here, but I always make sure to bring the area of effect templates I made from coat hangers.

I don't think they're very common, but I found some here and here and here.

Forgot to mention too, as others have said a kneadable eraser works, but i haven't had much success with pulling highlights when the drawing is smaller in scale. Another thing I've found that works is an electric eraser. the one i bought was made by Staedtler, but if you sharpen it to a point on a sand paper block, it can pull highlights pretty good. Useful for hair too I've found.

This is the absolute best eraser I have ever used.

All the usual stuff, pens, pencils, paper. I always liked using mechanical pencils along with a separate eraser. Also a solid scientific calculator will serve you well through high school and into university as well, I always used a TI-30x solar, works great and never needs batteries. They aren't made any more but you can find them on ebay.

I process models like this in two chunks. One with the object right side up and the other with the model flipped 180 degrees to be upside down. I usually use grey rubber kneaded eraser to prop up objects and keep them still. It grips well, but doesn't really leave a residue. I then merge these two point clouds in PhotoScan and use the combined point cloud to build my mesh.

I've tried a few different models:

• Pink Pearl
  
  
• Black Pearl
  
• White Pearl
  
• Art Gum
  
• Pentel Hi-Polymer
  
• Pentel Stic Eraser
  
• Tombow Zoro
  
• Rite in the Rain mechanical pencil eraser
  
  Thoughts: Of the options above, I've most liked the black pearl, art gum, pentel hi-polymer, and RITR pencil.
  
  I've least liked the Pentel Stic, Tombow, and White/Pink Pearls. The narrower point of the Pencel Stic and the Tombow just don't do the trick with our paper. The White/Pink Pearls seem to smudge more than erase.
  
  The black pearl and the pentel hi-polymer are nice choices for a block eraser. The Art Gum erases great, but leaves behind a TON of eraser debris. The RITR mechanical pencil comes with a few backup erasers (and these erasers are ridiculously good), so that actually can serve a similar function as the Pentel Stic or Tombow Zoro for more precise erasing (but nowhere near the exacto-knife precision of the Tombow).
