Been using these new Maped Rubbers recently. They cost a bit more then normal Rubbers and you only get two in a pack. They have this weird plastic centre which to be honest looks nice but I’m pretty sure you could get through life without little tiny plastic grips on your rubber. They do have a couple of other things however going for them. Firstly they’re pretty tough. The Erasers I usually use are cheaper but tend to crumble and come apart when you start rubbing out with them. Which is why in College I could never get in to using Putty Rubbers. I prefer hardier Rubbers that you can press down on and won’t snap. Secondly, one of the Rubbers is teardrop shaped which is by far the best shape for rubbing out little details on artwork. The other one is round and better for rubbing out large areas. You can buy packs of other Rubbers in four for cheaper but one of the four is always a coloured rubber like pink or green and when you use them on Bristol Board they always leave a coloured skid mark across the page that you can never really get rid of, so upon opening the pack I usually just have to bin the coloured one right away and then one of the Rubbers will always be one of those 50% Pencil Rubber 50% Ink Rubbers which means 50% of that Rubber is no good. I’m going to stop there as writing a Blog post on what Rubber you use is a bit iffy, but writing a long Blog post on what Rubber you use is unforgivable. I’m not sure who reads this Blog but it seems to get hits and I’m guessing some of them are from other artist. But in case that post was a little lost on you here a humorous Gif as well.
