Kneaded erasers are one of my 'must have tools for realistic drawing.' They're tremendously useful, I use them almost as much as I use my pencils, and I really can’t imagine drawing without them! In this video, discover 3 ways to use a kneaded eraser for realistic drawing, and what sets this essential drawing tool apart from other erasers.

My current favorite kneaded eraser brand: https://amzn.to/3PYuKBB
I prefer this one because it's more rigid, and holds its shape better than other brands I've tried.
