Drawing Companion Set. A set of drawing tools for sharpening, blending and erasing. Includes a putty rubber and an erasing shield. (This product has now been discontinued – this is a close alternative Jakar Drawing Companion Set) For subtractive drawing, (lifting out the highlights), putty or kneaded erasers work best for lifting general areas of highlight as they lift the graphite off cleanly. The edges of the lifted areas will be soft unless the eraser is pushed through the hole of an erasing shield. Technical drawings, graphic images and sketches can be created using a variety of instruments, ranging from traditional tools such as pencils, compasses, rulers and a variety of triangles as well as by computer. Drawing tools are used to make accurate and legible drawings and models. Whilst the computer can be used for most drawing and modeling requirements today, traditional drawing instruments such as those mentioned above are still important very important, particularly for freehand sketching and experimenting with shapes and lines. When drawing, sketching or attempting basic graphics work the pieces of equipment shown below are very useful and often essential. First kneading: the hardest one, almost impossible like trying to tear a plastic eraser apart, never even tore into pieces, never got smooth or held together, was a lot of work, I made a usable piece by twisting a small portion at a time. Second kneading of small piece next day: hard.

Staedtler produces one eraser with two sides – one for graphite and one for coloured pencil and ink. Coloured Pencil For removing excess lines created during the sketching process, vinyl, rubber, gum, kneaded or putty erasers work well. Remember that marks made with a soft graphite pencil used lightly, are easier to remove than marks made with hard graphite pencils used with more pressure that are inclined to scratch the paper and trap the pigment inside the scratch. The makes of putty rubber vary a lot in softness- from very soft and melty to super stiff almost like a hard rubber eraser. Compasses are usually made of metal and consist of two parts connected by a hinge. One part has a spike at its end which stops it from sliding on the paper when drawing a circle or arc, and the other part a pencil. The distance between the legs can be adjusted to allow the changing of the radius of the circle drawn. Diagram 3 – Compass Interesting fact no. 1: the original eraser was a squashed up piece of soft bread. You can still use bread if you don’t have a rubber, just pinch out the centre of a slice.A mixture of rubber and pumice, these erasers will remove coloured pencil and ink, but they are hard on the paper and should be used with extreme care or they can damage the paper. Faber Castell Round Eraser, Platinum-plated (comes in a gift box, for the artist who has everything) The sharpener revolves: it can be turned inwards so that it does not leak graphite dust through the blade aperture. To empty the pencil shavings from the (very small) reservoir, simply swing the sharpener outwards and pull it off the main unit. Is there a rubber that will remove a graphite line in a drawing without lightening the ink line on top?
