BIG QUESTION ANYBODY: I do graphite portraits and sometimes a day or two later after I think my drawing is finished, I'll suddenly see a mistake that needs fixing and that is easy to do with graphite. Question: In dry brushing .... after the paint is dry, can I still erase and/or darken an area that needs it. Thanks for any help.

I found that yes, that's possible. Darkening shouldn't be a problem at all. Erasing back to white is limited to rather light areas regardless of whether the paint was freshly applied or not. Medium and dark areas will only lighten to an extent.
I once tested erasing a rather light area on a piece that was already several years old at the time, and found no problem with it. Now this could depend on both paper and paint (consistency), so maybe just try it out...? If you decide to give it a go, good luck and have fun! :)
