Tombow 57316 Mono Zero Eraser Refills, Round 2.3mm, 2-Pack

It gets into all the nitty gritty teensy wee spaces. Of course this is why we buy it! But check out HOW good it is! I’ve scribbled 8B, 6B, 4B, 2B, HB aquarelle (Faber-Castelle water soluble graphite) pencils, wet them, let it dry, then did ONE swipe of this eraser through and it StILL rubs out almost all! This is great for lifting out highlights (can get just as teensy as a mouldable eraser tapped to pull off graphite in order to make highlights) and retaining ground on the 8B, 6B & 4B as well as nearly removing all from 2B, HB! On the right, I scribbled a regular graphite pencil (my Fav, a 0.3mm pentel graphigear 1000) and swiped once with this mono zero round eraser and it removed it all! If I really rubbed I could get it all, but wanted to show what could be done with one swipe only! There is nothing better than this. I can make a wide line with a crummy #2 that you’d do an exam with and narrow the line so it looks like fine art. Imagine drawing teeth. Most pencil”s lines are too wide and the teeth will look like a jack o lantern’s. Erase the line so it’s very very thin with this and now they look marvelous! This ups your art game!

These are a great, really small eraser. Gets all the little areas.

Tombow is great!

I Love this eraser for small details or small spots to erase where I don’t want to mess up the drawing with my bigger eraser. They erase good and fit wonderful in my pencil case. It’s super easy to use and works well! I highly recommend!

I most often work in colored pencil and that means that I'm often sketching in pencil, refining the sketch and then erasing the sketch as I fill it in with color. Having a precision eraser makes all of the above easier. If I'm refining a line often I just want to shave a little bit off of one side, or I'm working near other lines I want to keep. When I'm cleaning up just before I apply color I'm often working near other color that will smudge or be partially erased, which definitely isn't what I want. I've seen reviews where the replacements are hard to put in, but I haven't had that issue. I've not had to replace the eraser yet, but I've pulled it out and put it back in a half a dozen times to check it. That addresses a second fear I had that it wouldn't last very long, but even with daily usage over 6 months I've not used half the eraser in the one it shipped with. I do also use the larger Tombow Mono erasers when I am clearing out large blocks, which is where I think you'd go through this type very quickly. This and other Mono erasers erase fully and quickly and don't damage paper. They do a good job with watercolor in removing graphite either before or after painting too. Even though I've not gone through my first eraser I've bought a couple refills because I know this is one I'm going to want to keep using.

If you draw anything in detail this is a must have

my son and i are both artists and our mono erasers are an important tool in our kits. these refills are easy to install and work flawlessly. I am always disappointed in how short the eraser part is. i see no reason why its so short but we need them so i keep paying money for them.

I love these erasers. A great tool for artists to highlight faces.
