You have cost me so much money since I discovered you a week ago. You are certainly the channel I’ve been looking for to help improve my drawing. So it’s the draw for my pencils from The Works and hello Derwent, staedtler, Tombo, M&R, KUM, Koh I Noor and many more.... Not entirely your fault. If I can make a hobby expensive then I will.
I had read Lineke’s comment about the kih-i-noor and I also think it is in a class of it’s own. Best eraser I ever had, so smooth and good! Now I need to find an equally good deal on them!
🖒Thanks, Smoothie. Generous, informative and enjoyable.
Glad I found your channel. Great information, thanks smoothie77.
Thank you for taking the time to make this video!
I’m currently looking for fine line erasers and before I found this video I had already looked at both the Koh-i-noor pen eraser and the Tombow Mono Zero
Luckily I have easy access to both of them in nearby stores, so tomorrow I’ll go and get one of each because why not :)
Also thanks for your great tutorials, I’m just a happy amateur but watching your stuff have greatly improved my graphite technique!
I just discovered the Kohi Noor eraser while buying some color pencils. I was so impressed I am doing pencil drawings now, while before that I was only working with watercolor. It feels like drawing with a white pencil. I t was the last one in that shop, but I'll look for it on another and stock up if I find any.
Your demos are always wonderful and very helpful smoothie, for myself and many others! 😀🙏👌
Thanks Agui, that's good to hear, and very much appreciated!
I love this kind of videos about materials. Thank You. Koh-i-noor pencil eraser is absolutely fantastic, so thanks to Lineke and you!
Thanks Rafa, much appreciated!
I am so glad you made this video. There are so many erasers out there and this was helpful. someone just starting out can spend tons of money on things like this. so great video.
Thanks Jacob, glad you like the video, I hope it helps people to make a good choice when buying erasers.
Very comprehensive video and useful insights, although I would've liked to see how all these erasers perform.
Great video by the way
Thanks for sharing this my friend. Always nice to see what you use to make you wonderful art.. I love the Koh I Noor pencil eraser and just ordered some for myself. Thanks again for what you do, truly has inspired me on my art.
You're very welcome, its a video that's long overdue, I'm glad I finally got around to making it after all the questions I got about erasers, I'm sure you will love the Koh i noor erasers! As always thanks for the kind words, much appreciated :)
LYRA makes by far the BEST kneadable eraser. Closest thing to blue tack,however more suited for erasing and highlights!! You can erase all down to a hair thin lines! I,ve tried White blue tack, the regular one as also all the kneadable erasers from the big brand names.LYRAmakes the best by far.(Better than Faber Castell)
Thanks for sharing. Very informative.
You're welcome Izak, thanks for the comment!
Always great ti see what the Masters use to do the great work they do....Thanks Smoothie for sharing your knowledge with us.
Thanks E Will, I'm certainly not a Master (Lineke is) but I am happy to share what I know with you all :)
Never mind Smoothie E Will!!! Smoothie is the Master!!
Here we go again hahaha!
Yes i do consider Lineke a Master as well, but you are indeed a Master at what you do Smoothie....it takes one to be able to do what you both do and the rest of us appreciate it very much.....
Well that's very kind of you to say E Will, I really appreciate your nice comments, thank you!
Hi, thank you for the great review. I just got myself the koh-i-noor eraser pencils but I'm finding it difficult to sharpen them with regular sharpeners. Can you please make a video on how to sharpen them?
You can sometimes knead different putty rubbers together to get a composite.
Daler Rowney putty rubber (which is slightly more springy) and Staedtler putty rubber mix well.
Wow who would've thought good ol' Blu Tack can be used as an eraser, I have a full packet in my drawer.......woo hoo thanks for that.......great video too.
Thank you very much.
I had a Derwent electric eraser and got really fed up with it, for reasons you've already mentioned and a few more. Eventually it packed up and I was well pleased it did, because I bought a Sakura Electric Eraser on somebodys advise. What a huge quality difference, same thing, but properly made . The lightest touch on the button and it buzzes, but you can't see the eraser go round, but it is, AND you can sharpen the point to the extent you can erase tiny dots. When I bought it, (about two years ago), it cost about £10, but I've just looked on Amazon and they're costing over £30, but in my opinion they're well worth it. I'd buy another tomorrow.
I looked at the Sakura a while ago, I thought they were very pricey compared to the Derwent at about £5 , I heard a lot of good things about the Sakura, and I would buy one if my Derwent packs up, I have had my Derwent for about 4-5 years now and it still going strong.
Hi Jon, yeah, they do seem to be expensive now, but as I said, I bought mine on Amazon for about £10. My Derwent packed up about a year after I bought it, the battery connections fell apart due to corrosion, also I had to start it with my hand, but I just wasn't happy with it anyway. The quality of the Sakura is two levels above the Derwent, like getting out of a Ford into a Jag.
I enjoyed the video, by the way - interesting. I've just ordered five Koh-I-Noor pencil erasers, I think you're putting they're sales up daily!
Its funny that there isn't a battery eraser that falls somewhere in the middle price range, say £15-£20, its quite a gap £5 for a Derwent and £30 for the Sakura, Anyway hope enjoy the Koh i noor erasers, they are superb, maybe I should contact Koh i noor and ask for a commission lol
smoothie77 Why not, they might send you a box full!!
Thanks for the info, Andy. I just checked the Sakura on Amazon. About $50 USC Or £40 GBP. (June 6, 2019).
With your Pentel ZE31...you can replace the refill with a ZER4 refill. It is made for pencil and ink and is a bit more 'sandy' that you may enjoy. My fav eraser is the Pentel ZE15..it is triangular shape. I also like the Pentel ZE80 which is square.
Very informative smoothie,blu tack is readily available here in Australia,my kids used to use it to place posters on the wall,when I transfer my drawing onto watercolor paper I can roll it over the graphite ,so I'm left with faint lines,knead able erasers are made from petroleum product.
Thanks Maria, I like to roll blu tack over areas of my drawings too, it helps to give a nice faded effect, funny you should mention that as I was demonstrating that techique on my Patreon page the other day, I still use the blu tack for sectioning of my palette the way you told me, that's a clever use for blu tack and works well, It has so many uses, www.marylkaart.com
Check out Maria's website www.marylkaart.com
Someone suggested an alternative to blue tack was aleene's tacky craft putty. Would suit Americans as it only seems available there.
Thanks for reviewing the click eraser I got mine in the mail
You're welcome Ashley, hope you enjoy using the new eraser:)
Thank you. I already have a Tombow and I once purchased Blu tac, but it didn't last. I don't think it was the same brand you should. I willing to give it chance again as you have put it in your top five. Much appreciated!
Thanks Jazmin, Bostik blu tack does seem to work better than others, I have heard a few people say they have had trouble with other brands, I know several artist who use Bostik blu tack all the time.
Great to hear, I'm in the process of order some. Thanks again. Have a blessed day.
Thank you, and you too!
Great video! ... Anyway, the KOH-I-NOOR is my next step (found some on eBay). I've tried everything from Pencil Cap erasers (the material they use didn't erase worth a darn) to Tombow types (too flexy and bulky for fine erasing). I've been looking for these old wood jobs like the KOH-I-NOOR [for finer erasing] while Faber Castell are ridiculously expensive (I'm still waiting for some cheap china ones to come out). The electric eraser also looks like it's worth a try.
thanks for the review, I love your accent by the way
I cant find the Derwent large pen eraser avaible. So what would be the best standard eraser? (like the mars plastic)
For anyone wondering and because he mentioned some confusion in the US about Blu Tack.
Blu Tack is usually called Sticky Tack (or sometimes labeled "mounting putty" or if you grew up out in the country... 'ticky tack) in the US. It's available in any office or school supply store and it's at Walmart/Target in the office supply section. It can also usually be found at any big box hardware store like lowes/home depot.
It's not pointless to sharpen a eraser! That's why you have an eraser, to use it, to make the finest details... round edges will always form in all eraser. No matter how many times you sharpen the eraser, for what all counts is the drawing. Same cocept goes to pencils, you sharpen them to make FINE details.
Excellent review again Smoothie, you are soooo good at explaining and what a bunch of material you have there!!! Well done and thank you so much for recommending me for advicing you the Koh I Noors, and putting my link in!! ^.^
The Koh I Noors are still my favorite and I even have them at work *for secretly drawing... and take them along on trips and holidays. But ofcourse I will be checking out the other too!!
Take care my friend and keep up the good work, all the love from Holland - Lineke
Thank you Lineke, I'm expecting this video to go viral by this evening, so you should get lots of follow on clicks on your link! :D .....I will keep dreaming lol :)
Hahahaha!!! I sure hope so for you Smoothie!! I will help you dream.....
Summertime is always low on views... :(
Yeah I know, to keep dreaming is as much as we can do at the moment, especially with the drop in add revenue.
Can't wait till Autumn.... :D lol
Me too! I'm going to enjoy the sunshine first though :)
Thank you so much. I bought a few of these, but I realize I havent been using them correctly.
You're welcome Jeff, thanks for the comment:)
I also like the Koh-I-Noor one! It was very surprising for me because most of these pencil-erasers aren't too good I was most familiar with the ones from Faber Castell, but sometimes I even prefer the KIN over the Tombow mono zero.
I'm from Germany and Koh-I-Noor is popular enough so that you'll find them without trouble, maybe it's easier or faster if you order these from Germany?
I also want to give the Staedler Mars plastic a try, it should be very near to the Tombow mono. More in a block eraser, but they also have the option of an pen eraser. In the "pen", the size isn't comparable at all, the Mars plastic is near the size of the derwent pen eraser
I have seen the Staedtler mars eraser pen, it looks good, but like you said, its not as fine as the KIN, could always trim it down to a sharper point with a craft knife, that may work.
Yes, It could still work well for my purposes but that's very individual. As I said, maybe I'll try it as a block first, when my Tombow mono eraser is used up, I'll replace it with the mars plastic and maybe I can get a feeling for it and how fast a fine edge on the eraser will wear down and if the mars plastic pen would still be useful.
But I also know that you can buy the mars plastic as refills for mechanical pencils, they're much smaller in diameter but obviously way more expensive and very tiny. No real option to think about for me, because I have the Tombow mono zero for very fine details and the surprising good KIN.
I found that if you use a bit of tape for the clip on the end, it helps to keep it from rotating. Just something that has helped me.
I use a piece of LYRA kneadable eraser on top of my Tombow Mono Zero 2.3mm, shaped as a cone, for even finer erasing/highlights! It also stops the annoying rotation of the Tombow pencil eraser!
❣️
I'm struggling to find a Derwent Eraser pen, there's plenty of the battery operated ones but I can't find the standard chunky one 😒
I've got the tombow mono zero one on your recommendation and I love it, it's great for rubbing out detail but I want something a bit chunkier.
There appears to be what looks similar items by other makers but I'm unsure about the size and if they are the same, in the photographs you really cat tell and they don't always have measurements in the item description (I'm looking in eBay)
Can you make any other recommendations which are close?
Fantastic advice! Definitely going to try blu tak. I forgot to ask, do the staedtler mechanical refills have that shine to them? or are they as good as the wood pencils? Thanks.
Thanks Luke, the Staedtler leads do have shine to them.
smoothie77 That's a shame. I'll try a pencil holder for 4B+. I wonder if there are any with carbon..
oh wow i thought those pencil erasers like koh-i-noor are for colored pencils! i didnt know they work for graphite pencils as well
can i just get away with koh-i-noor and not buy tombow anymore? i was initially planning to buy tombow because i really needed a fine tip eraser but after watching your video i feel like the koh-i-noor one is what i really need! but since you almost like the two equally, maybe there's a reason why i would want the tombow one as well? i kinda just want to get koh-i-noor alone since it's way cheaper than the tombow but maybe this eraser will benefit me as well?
I have missed your videos where you demonstrate using watercolors on your drawings....
More watercolour coming very soon :)
u should also mention what is a good paper to use for those like to practice drawing.
Already made a video about that, here's the link, th-cam.com/video/Y7r7IPIGOeQ/w-d-xo.html
thank u smoothie
what is country
How do you get the Koh I Noor pencil eraser for the USA?
Just looked them up. It looks like you can get them thru Amazon, but there's also a $5.60, or so, shipping fee.
Another use, is i place 2 small dots to keep my paintings from tilting on the wall
Oops, forget my comment on the other video-now I found out that you know the eraser I asked you about! Sorry!
LOL, no worries :)
Best kneadabke eraser is the faber castell blue one without a doubt. I have tried a few and that is the only one that remains true. I tried blue-tack but it wasn't as good imho.
