What erasers do professional artists use? The answer depends on your medium. Here’s what every art student needs.

For graphite and charcoal sketching (essential 3-piece set):

For colored pencil work:

• Kneaded eraser is best – dab (don’t rub) to lighten colors

• Soft TPR eraser – good for broad lightening, but won’t completely remove colored pencil

• Never use abrasive erasers – they’ll ruin the paper surface

What makes a good art eraser?

• Soft enough to not damage paper

• Clean erasing without smudges or ghosts

• Non-toxic and odorless

• Paper-friendly for expensive art paper

Qihao® Art Eraser Sets cover every creative need:

• Premium TPR material – gentle on paper, effective on graphite

• SGS, EN71, ASTM F963, CPSIA certified – safe for student artists

• BSCI and Disney audited factory – quality you can trust

Pro tip for art students: Keep separate erasers for different media. Using a graphite eraser on colored pencil work can smear the pigments. Qihao offers specialized erasers for each medium.
