Standard erasers damage paper surfaces and leave residue. Kneadable erasers lift charcoal and pastel by absorbing pigment rather than abrading the surface — mould them to any shape for precise highlight work. Putty erasers offer similar non-abrasive lifting. Eraser pencils reach fine detail that no block eraser can access cleanly. Conté à Paris, Staedtler, and ProArt cover every eraser type a dry media artist needs.
