Electric eraser? Omg. Sounds awesome. Traditional media is too complicated for me. This kind of paper, kind of ink, kind of eraser, it’s too much for my head. Haha…
Wow, Kantoku has some computer, hum? I wish I can get one like this someday. Thanks for the useful post.

I like them for a different reason: they are just the best quality you can have today ^^

As for sketching, I had a good plastic ersaser by Faber Castel but I lost it. Very good for erasing pencil. As for those who sketch in pen, they are insanely good not to miss their stroke, but there are some eraser also for indian ink. Moreover, Japanese have electric eraser which are accurate for small details. I guess there is also the quality of the paper to take into account; right now I use some letter paper which is smooth and better for inking: not much texture which allows me to ink with my very thin marker without them getting stuck in the asperity of the paper.

I like to go back and forth between sketching on paper and sketching on computer nowadays, though I tend to lean towards sketching on computer because my sketches are always really messy. Lots of smudges, especially when I have to erase something. On the computer, I can erase 100 times and never ruin the canvas! I am fascinated by artists who sketch in pen, because I personally mess up far too often to draw anything in pen without having to start over. ^^;;

I love to look at the full size CG artworks by different artists, because you can really see the individual strokes and beautiful details that you can never fully appreciate once they are scaled down. Goto-P’s artwork is especially enjoyable to look at in high resolution because of this.
