Erasers

For graphite, many artists keep two options on hand: a kneaded eraser to gently lift and lighten lines, and a low-residue block eraser for clean, crisp corrections. Browse our Artist erasers selection, then pair it with the right lead hardness from our Graphite collection, https://shop.artnoise.ca/collections/drawing-pencils for easier, cleaner edits.

Charcoal often erases differently than graphite: a kneaded eraser is great for lifting tone and shaping highlights without scuffing the surface, while a firmer eraser can help with sharper, brighter pulls on sturdy paper.

Use light pressure, erase in small passes, and brush debris away gently (instead of rubbing it in). Paper choice matters too—heavier drawing pads handle revisions better than thin sheets. Match your surface from Paper and Pads collection, https://shop.artnoise.ca/collections/sketchbooks with a tool from the Erasers collection https://shop.artnoise.ca/collections/erasers , and consider helpful extras in our Drawing Accessories collection https://shop.artnoise.ca/collections/drawing-accessories

Precision (mechanical) erasers are made for tiny corrections—edges, hairlines, lettering, and tight highlights—where a block eraser is too broad. They’re especially handy for detailed sketching and layout work with pencil. Find options in our Precision Erasers and Refills collection, https://shop.artnoise.ca/collections/erasers ; if you’re working in ink, pair them with Fineliners https://shop.artnoise.ca/collections/fineliners and plan pencil underdrawing first.

You can usually lighten coloured pencil and pastel, but full removal depends on the pigment and paper tooth. A gentle kneaded eraser can lift and soften without smearing, while a firmer eraser may help with small corrections on sturdy paper. Shop our Erasers collection, https://shop.artnoise.ca/collections/erasers for delicate lifting and see related mediums like Coloured Pencils https://shop.artnoise.ca/collections/coloured-pencils-polychromos-luminance-artist-colour-pencils , Chalk Pastels https://shop.artnoise.ca/collections/chalk-pastels , and Oil Pastels https://shop.artnoise.ca/collections/oil-pastels

Not always—refills are typically sized to a specific brand/model and diameter. If you’re using a click-style or pen-style eraser, check the refill type and shape before stocking up.
