A kneaded eraser is a soft, pliable erasing tool that looks and feels like putty. Unlike traditional erasers that wear away as you rub, kneaded erasers work by absorbing graphite and charcoal particles through a "lifting" action. They never crumble or leave debris, making them ideal for fine art applications.

How to use a kneaded eraser:

• Knead before use: Stretch and fold the eraser several times to warm it up and make it pliable.

• Shape it: Pinch it into a point for fine details, or flatten it into a pad for larger areas.

• Dab, don't rub: Press it lightly onto the area you want to lighten, then lift straight up. The graphite sticks to the eraser.

• Clean it: When the surface gets dirty, knead the dirty surface into the center to expose a clean area.

• Store properly: Keep it in a sealed container to prevent it from drying out.

Common uses:

• Creating highlights in charcoal and graphite drawings

• Softening edges and transitions

• Removing small mistakes without smudging

• Lifting excess pigment from paper
