Another thing I absolutely *adore* about kneaded erasers, is how gentle they are to the paper. Unlike virtually every other eraser in existence, they don't change the paper's surface. There will always be a slight difference when you use a regular eraser, because of friction. But there's no real friction when it's a kneaded eraser, especially if you just dab the graphite (or coal) away. It is a *lifesaver* when sketching, I love mine to bits.
I remember these from elementary school, they left a mess on your hands when they got really dirty and when they dry out they no longer fold after some time
This video sure was kneaded! Thanks for the upload Ms Leslie! Edit: and by the way, idk why mine is so sticky, i got it at 5 below with a colored pencil set
We used to get these at bookfairs in school that were in book shaped or suitcase shaped containers. I absolutely loved them for everything, especially the scented ones. I'm sure they still sell them in some places i just graduated and haven't seen my siblings with them lol
You would make a great ASMR content creator if you're an artist. I could fall asleep to your voice and hearing pencil marking up paper would be amazing.
You can also make a diy kneaded eraser, here's how : First get post it notes and a normal/old eraser. Erase the eraser on the sticky part of post it notes. If you want to make it's size as normal kneaded erasers, then you're gonna need alot of post it notes ( I've made a small one like a little smaller than the one you showed you use to erase charcoal, and it took 40-45 post it notes) And you can also use tape if you don't have post it notes. Sorry for big comment, also hope this helps
In my experience you should have a pretty air tight container for the eraser, my first one I kept in the paper covering it came with and it dried up into an unuseable rock. Not nice. I put my new one in a kinder surprise egg and it's stayed perfect 👌
I think some brands are more prone to drying out, and I’m not sure why. Maybe they add something besides the rubber during manufacturing. I’ve had the occasional one that gets hard and unusable, but they are usually from a non-brand source.
My cousins love my kneaded eraser, just because of the fact it’s moldable. They like to call it a slime eraser, cause it reminds them of slime I guess.
THANK YOU SO MUCH I have kneaded eraser but I thought it was an normal one and when i saw I was soooo happy!. I was also happy cause I’ve always wanted one of these, lol.
Dear Leslie, im going to drawing course and I bought one to rub my drawing clean. That is great how it is used I always wanted to build little rubber ducks thanks for showing. Many greetings 😊❤
I roll mine over my graphite sketches before painting. It picks up any loose graphite and lightens the sketch; that way it doesn't smear when painting and the sketch doesn't stand out when I'm done!
I also have kneaded eraser but whenever I use it, it becomes so sticky and also leaves residue on my fingers. Can you please tell me what can I do with it
I have noticed that some brands (or generic ones) are just terrible. They are too hard, brittle or sticky and there isn’t much you can do with them. A little stickiness is normal at first and should improve after you use it a bit. But try to buy one from an art manufacturer.
So i bought a kneaded earaser from Faber castle It is blue , is that fake And btw will the earaser dry if i leave it out of the box Mine came in a small box then wrapped in plastic
You can also make them at home by yourself without wasting money, but also, this is gonna waste probably an hour of your time. All you need is an eraser or sticky notes, and then rub the eraser on the sticky part of a sticky note, and then gather them together and I need it together and then you’ll have something like that. If you want an even bigger portion, you can just do that all over again. Hope this helps.
ohh i legit forgot you could rub them on the paper to erase, ive only been pressing! i like them a lot since they're gentler on paper, i love the texture my sketchbook paper has but it's a little delicate
Hello, thank you very much again for sharing. Could you please make a video about the professional watercolors that you recommend buying first??? thank you so much!!!~🌸🌸🌸
I will add it to my list for sure. I can tell you now that my personal favourites are Winsor and Newton. But if you like super bright colours Schmincke and Sennelier are white nice. Daniel Smith and M. Graham are great but much more pricey! 😊
Could you explain how to clean em my kneadable eraser that my friend gave me is dirty af and i tried using water, soap and even hot water eith soap but it doesnt clean
