How to use Eraser Tool

Based line drawings for beginners: from beginner to pro

Before I start working on a drawing, I always make a rough sketch first. I often find some of my first sketches of characters difficult, but the line art is not too hard. It’s the body contours that pose a problem. I find it difficult to know how big the muscles of a character are, so I start by drawing only the skin. Once I have drawn the character I know how big the muscles are.

I then get the contours of the body exactly right. For the skeleton, I use a pointer to draw on the model. I then use the eraser to erase the previous sketch, adding detail as I go. Once I have finished the skeleton, I can do some shading, maybe add shadows or a light source. This process could be done by hand, but it is very time-consuming. I find that the eraser-based method takes a fraction of the time and it is a little easier to get the character’s overall shape right.

I always look at the drawings while I’m working on them so that I have an idea of where I need to go. Using the eraser doesn’t always work, because in the end there will always be a little error, but I can always erase it at a later stage.

Eraser Tool-Based Line Drawing for Beginners

Should I stick to only one method?

Now that I’ve touched on the different tools and techniques used to create line drawings, I want to know what other drawing processes should beginners try to learn. This can be a difficult question to answer. Each process has advantages and disadvantages. For example, when using pencils and charcoal, it is easier to get the perfect line. With these tools, a mistake is only a stroke away. For drawing in 3D with a computer, when using styluses, it’s difficult to reach a surface that isn’t perfectly flat.

In this particular piece

I’ve used a combination of methods. I haven’t used pencils and charcoal in the 3D rendering part, because it’s difficult to get perfect lines. Instead I’ve drawn a rough sketch on the model’s skin and then used the eraser to erase that. When I’ve finished, I can start to add more details. I use the eraser for shading and to add lighting sources.

Line Drawing for Beginners: Why do you work with different tools?

I’ve worked with 3D art for a few years now. When I first started, I was using pencils and paint to create my artwork. Later, when I tried using a mouse, I found that it made it easier to draw.

I usually have some sort of device in front of me when I’m drawing so that I can turn the mouse on and off when I need to make adjustments.
