Tips, Tricks & How-Tos
|
|
A natural rubber or white rub eraser works best with this charcoal. For blending where removing a bit of the material or having a lightened tone is not an issue, use a sheep skin rag. If you want to blend while keeping a very dark tone, just using your fingers is probably your best bet.

Not Recommended
|
|
Do not put down a layer of this charcoal and then expect it to erase to white. It will never erase to white, only to a shade of gray.
