Eraser and eraser pens for artists and creative individuals

Anyone who draws with pencils or charcoal makes mistakes every now and then. It’s annoying, but normal. Mistakes are a necessary part of the process because you learn from them and get better. But if something doesn’t go as planned, you’ll be happy to know that you can easily correct small mistakes with an eraser. With a good eraser, the lines you previously drew will no longer be visible – and you can easily draw or sketch over the erased surface afterwards. 

In addition, erasers can be used in a number of artistic ways, for example to add highlights to drawings. But not all erasers are created equal – there are big differences. You’ll need a different eraser depending on what you’re drawing with – and what kind of paper you’re drawing on. 

If you’re looking for erasers for your creative projects, you’ve come to the right place. 

How well something can be erased depends on the pencil as well as the paper. If you use thin, fine paper and press hard when erasing, the paper may crease or even tear. That’s why there are erasers that erase extremely well without making you press hard, such as the MONO light. This eraser is made of firmer material that adheres less to the paper and glides over it more easily than other erasers. This means that the process of erasing barely affects the paper – which is great for sensitive paper. And it also has another advantage: 

Depending on whether you are erasing a larger area or a fine line, it makes sense to have erasers of different sizes on your drawing board. With a large eraser like the MONO L, you can easily erase larger areas. Small erasers like the MONO smart or extra fine erasers like the MONO zero allow you to make very fine, almost delicate erasing movements, allowing you to erase even single lines very precisely. 

Erasers in pen form – like the MONO zero – are operated similarly to mechanical pencils: By pressing on the cap, the erasers first come out a bit. If you hold the button down, you can push the eraser back into the pencil shaft and keep it perfectly protected. 

The advantage of this is that it keeps eraser debris – which you accidentally spread around the paper with your hand – from rubbing across your drawing. This means your work won’t get smeared or smudged. 

Test the eraser with your paper before you begin your creative work. This will allow you to see how the paper responds – and how much pressure you need to use. If you practice a little with the eraser in advance, you will ultimately help prevent your creative project from getting damaged. 

An eraser can be used for more than just making corrections and changes to your drawing. Your eraser is also perfect for creating special effects – for example if you want to add highlights to a drawing. You can even reverse the drawing process: use a pencil to color in the surface of the paper in the desired color intensity and then erase outlines with the eraser. The result is a negative drawing – a design element that looks great in mangas, for example.
