Removing Eraser Debris

© S Tschantz, Licensed to About.com, Inc.
To clean their drawings, artists and drafters employ a soft bristle brush to sweep away eraser debris. Any soft brush will do the job, although the ones specially made for drafting work very well. You can also use a small soft bristled brush designed for water mediums or paste like the one shown, or an unused cosmetic brush. This small brush is easily carried in a pencil case along with erasers and sharpener.
