Delete

Delete charcoal - Soft and flexible eraser, super useful in drawing. It is called a charcoal eraser but it is used not only for charcoal drawing but also for other drawing means for erasure and clarification. It can be designed in various shapes, for example a spike shape for point or wired deletion / clarification. During use it absorbs paint particles and becomes black and dirty, so it needs to be kneaded and it becomes gray and cleaner again for the next erasure.

Erase without PVC - Deletes white and leaves no marks after deletion. This deletion is not used for clarification in the registry, but for deletion.

Delete without latex - An eraser that is also suitable for erasing both drawings with graphite pencils and colored pencils. Another side of it is suitable for erasing pens and ink.

Tip about erasing: when drawing, it is recommended to erase first with a charcoal eraser, which clarifies the pencil or charcoal layer. Then erase with an eraser without PVC, otherwise the eraser will only smear the layer and may leave a stain.

Sharpeners

A sharpener is a tool used to sharpen pencils in order to bring them to a shape convenient for drawing. A steel blade is installed in the sharpener that removes a thin layer of wood with graphite, charcoal, or soft pastel from the end of the pencil. It is recommended that the metal be strong enough not to break the pencil.

For drawing pencils, use a sharpener with a hole diameter of 0.9 cm. For pit pastel pencils, charcoal pencils, jumbo pencils and charcoal sprinklers, use a sharpener with a hole diameter of 1.2 cm.

Tip for refinement: If you use pencils of different types, it is recommended to purchase a sharpener with 2 holes instead of 2 sharpeners with different diameters. It is also advisable to choose a sharpener with a sharpening waste collection container for more convenient and orderly work.

The fixative should be sprayed about 30 cm from the drawing.

Pencil case
