I used to use what I called a graphite retractable eraser on my graphite drawings. I used sandpaper to shave it to a long, narrow edge point. Now I can't find one to save my life. I have lost mine. I need one badly. I see lots of retractable erasers on the market, but I have no idea where to get the brand I need that I can use on colored pencil and graphite. Not just a school eraser but an art eraser. It needs to be stiff enough to handle me removing things in a design like fashion. Does anyone know where I can buy this kind of item here in the USA? Or a brand for art supplies rather than school supplies?

Also, has anyone ever used this wax blender pencil by Prismacolor? Is it good? Just wondering.
 
1. Michaels and Hobby Lobby would be my suggestions. I don't recall if they have the exact eraser you're thinking of, but I do know they both have several kinds of artist erasers.

2. I have not, so I can't help you there.
 
**** Blick online/stores are great art stores. True art stores, not a mix of art's and crafts. I would try them.
Here's a link to their retractable erasers Here They have other eraser types as well.

Ditto to star_flare's answer on question 2. Sorry I can't help there.


hehehe- apparently I swore! It's a nick name for Richard.
 
Thanks, could not find them at Michaels. Maybe check hobby lobby next week. Tomorrow I am going to try the texas art supply.
