Synopsis

An eraser isn’t just for erasing mistakes. It can be used to create smudges and light strokes that allow you to discover shapes and other effects. So let’s start by applying a dark tone to an area of the sheet, where we’ll then draw… with the eraser! Natural shapes will be the initial models.
