Kneaded erasers
I have to say that the kneaded eraser is a must have for me. I don’t know about you but when I am sketching there is copious amounts of erasing involved. I hate all the eraser shavings.

For this first installment I was inspired by a comment on my June 24th blog A Little About My Process where Donna asked How do you get all the different thickness lines only having an iPad pen. In your second book the words have a patterns in them. How do you do that? The Apple Pencil is an amazing tool that works in tandem with the Procreate App. Here are a few pictures showing the…
