Now in the course of basically sketching out your Super Man drawing sometimes you can find out you know where there's just too much previous incarnations that are kind of basically spilling forward. Like you know we revised the "S", we still have some old core drawings and things going on in here. Some of these people will just draw over this, other times they will go back and they will erase. So let's basically show erasings. Not as simple as you think it would actually be. First off, if you are a left hander be aware left hander pinky. Yes, this is a wonderful condition whenever you basically drag your left pinky across the page. Right hander’s you are lucky you don't have to worry about this, but lefty's do. And even some of the more sloppy right hander’s can basically as they erase or as they draw will then streak this across the page. Look what happens. Yeah, that's what happens, a big huge ink smear. So watch out for this. This is an extra little tip on your drawing. So as you erase make sure to keep your pinky up off the page. Kind of go down. Don't be really forceful. Be nice and gentle. And basically then get rid of all of the extra cluttering lines. Gently wipe away with the other hand. Try to keep the paper as solid as you can. Stable. A quick sudden movement combined with erasing can result in a ripped piece of paper and back to square one on your art project. But you can already see that in just a couple of erasings here, how much better and clearer the "S" looks. Again, this is not an absolute necessity but if you find yourself rebuilding your drawing a couple of times it can help you make sure to kind of keep the shapes more discrete, clear, less cluttered and easier to color in.
