Hi, Naomi. I bought a product before seeking help on the internet and seeing your video. I live in a place with few retail options for art supplies and bought a Faber-Castell soft, moist pair of erasers which was packaged as 1 red and 1 blue. I am working on coloured pencil laid down 1-2 years ago and it does a terrible job. Is OLD coloured work particularly difficult to remove?
@@billyleonard1722 I wouldn’t say it’s difficult to remove but some things to consider: has it been in a warm location that gets a good amount of sun or heat. That can make the colored pencil stick more. Did you use a spray over it, workable or final. What paper are you using. Colored pencil erases easier on more hardy thick papers like a hot pressed watercolor paper. Also did you use any other mediums or blending techniques like using odorless mineral spirits which sinks the pencil deeper into the paper. If you need an area to be white or change color without ruining the paper look up brush and pencil touch up texture and titanium white. I have a video using it. It creates an opaque white. It’s archival over colored pencil and once it’s dry you can actually go over it with colored pencil and change the color. Hope that helps you ☺️
@@NaomiCoutureArt Thank you, sweetie! No, just pencilled colour onto 80 grams-per-square-meter copy paper. I'm no artist; I was putting some colour onto homemade game cards! No worries. I'll try it one more time and then try Blu-Tac and if no luck, I'll put the idea of a return to white behind me! Compared to vivisection and animal slaughter, it's somehow just not important enough. :)
Great video! Tip: to use the magic tape you can use it for when you need to erase a very small line. If you put the tape on a erasing pencil shield and only use one slot, it will only erase where you used the stylus.
I really like the Mono eraser, and it looks to be quite a lot easier to use than an electric one. I can see myself making a right old mess with one of those! 😂 I’ll need to keep a look out for the perfection one, that looks good too!
Once I found the perfection eraser it’s pretty much all I use now when I need to. I still try to leave my light errand in but this helps for any mistakes 😄
I hardley ever use erasers on coloured pencil, never have a reason to. def dont like the electric ones since they tend to leave marks on the papers i use, but might work with just graphite
I don't use erasers much either, mostly if I went too dark and need to lighten an area or went outside my sketch. The perfection eraser is a good one to have on hand just incase.

Have you tried using FaberCastell tack-it (poster adhesive)?
I agree the FC eraser is very good at erasing colored pencils. The rough texture fine tip is so useful.
I love that it keeps a fine tip and it last quite awhile too.

Thank you! Ah that makes more sense. I have never tried that technique but thought I would give it try lol.
@@NaomiCoutureArt always worth a try. We never know what we’ll discover :).
