Faber-Castell Art & Graphic Kneadable Art Eraser, Grey, Single Eraser, for Art, Craft, Drawing, Sketching, Home, School, University, Colouring

An excellent mouldable eraser.

I must have tried about a dozen different brands of kneadable eraser over the years, from the cheapest generic kind to some quite expensive brands, before settling for two types that I like best. This is the one I prefer for erasing coloured pencil and I like the stiffer Koh - I - noor for removing graphite and charcoal. This one is very pliable and squidgy, which is perfect for shaping it to cover a small area. For lifting coloured pencil I find it best to shape the eraser to a little smaller than the area you need to clean, press it down on to the place, lift , knead to get a clean bit and repeat the process pressing and lifting until the area is clean. If it is a staining colour then gently using a plastic eraser like the Tombow Mono will remove the rest effectively without damaging the surface. I don't try and actively rub out with this kneadable eraser with coloured pencil but this method works well as long as you remember to use a clean area of it every time you press it down on the paper. The Faber Castell Kneadable Eraser gives you about twice as much volume of eraser as the Koh - I - noor does for roughly twice the price, so is quite economical and both come in a neat case to keep them clean. It is less oily than some other brands ( these erasers are all made of carbonated rubber with some added oil) but is probably too floppy to hold a point to erase with. It holds together well, unlike some cheap varieties, so lasts longer and doesn't tend to shed pieces that weld themselves immovably into the surroundings. This does the job of erasing coloured pencil at a decent price, which is what one wants from an item that will need to be replaced once it becomes dirty.

Does the job.

A lovely quality putty rubber at a good price.

I've tried many erasers over the year and this, though with it's limitations, is probably the one I go to most. The eraser is very pliable and can be torn easily and shaped for relatively controlled erasing. It also comes in a neat plastic case, which keeps it all in one place and free of fluff and dust. For me, the real positives is that it copes with a multitude of mediums really well - coloured pencil, graphite, charcoal, pastel can all be erased (depending, of course on the paper and quality of the medium being erased). It is also very good for removing excess graphite without removing the whole line - e.g if you're sketching and creating multiple contour lines, simply dabbing the lines will remove excess graphite, while leaving enough outline for you to apply colour without leaving garish graphite outlines. It also works very well with pastels, not just to erase lines, but also to perform subtractive techniques. If I was to pick a negative, it would be that it's not really firm enough to offer precise erasing. And, to be honest, I am still struggling to find a good solution to that. Still, as mentioned earlier, this is my go-to, and is always on my desk.

Omg, this product is amazing, I don’t know how I’ve managed without it. It easily lifts a lot of your pencil lines so the lines left are just a pale and won’t spoil your paintings. It also doesn’t cause any damage to your watercolour paper, as you can roll it or dab it on the paper rather than rubbing

Amazing for an artist starting with any type of markers reliable brand and feels great to use. Even if you don’t feel like drawing it’s an amazing stress ball. Totally recommend this for any beginner artist

It works but I found found kneadable erasers a bit difficult to work with

Cumpre sua função prometida mas essa borracha de masinha é desnecessária, uma borracha comum de boa qualidade faz a mesma coisa

Good value for money: erases pencils without damaging the surface of the paper.

Great use for a painter, would recommned.
