Materials and examples of marks

A SELECTION OF ERASERS

Pumice stone is useful for removing

very stubborn marks, but it can

damage the surface of the paper and so

must be used with care.

A razor (or scalpel) blade can scratch away

difficult-to-remove marks. It is an instrument

of last resort because while removing the

marks you don’t want you may inadvertently

damage other parts of your drawing.
