Faber Castell Kneadable Art Eraser, One Size

Product Information

Its wedge shape makes it useful when you need to erase a tiny detail or create a highlight without disturbing the rest of your work. A precise, non smudging battery-powered eraser, with a pleasant, ergonomic design making it comfortable to grip. I chose 2B rather than the more popular HB, because this is a test for artists and not classroom or office setting. From kneaded putty rubbers that can be moulded to a very fine point for stippling effects in chalk, crayon, pencil, charcoal and pastel work without smearing, to Tipp-Ex to erasing shields.

The eraser can be used to lighten pencil, charcoal and pastel compositions by gently lifting shading and more detailed work.The Faber Castell Art Eraser is a a soft, kneadable eraser which can be worked into a point for detailed correction.

I would also like to mention that I am well aware of the the fact there are hundreds if not thousands of artist eraser types on the market across the world, I am obviously unable to test them but I would love to know in the comments section if there is an eraser that you use, an eraser you can’t be without. The unique "Dust-Free" formula makes the eraser soft and guarantees excellent clean and smear-free erasing. However the Staedtler Mars Lumograph Black is a carbon based pencil and is quite similar to the Faber Castell Pitt Graphite Matt.

Warning aside, because I don’t want anyone trying to claim an hour of their life back should you watch the YouTube video, I wanted to put the test out there and that way it can be used if needed. This kneadable and absorbent eraser is ideal for removing pencil marks from watercolour paintings, using on charcoal and pastel, and is great even to replace your traditional eraser. Kneadable erasers are the perfect alternative when it comes to corrections or lightening drawings with charcoal or pencil. The comfort edge (chamfered corners) are thoughtfully crafted for precise erasing and prevent breakage. The company celebrated its 250th anniversary in 2011 and is still in the hands of the same family, managed by the eighth generation Count Anton-Wolfgang von Faber-Castell.
