I made this sketch for my wife, but it got pressed into another charcoal drawing while I was moving stuff around.

Is eraser the best way to fix this?

    with one of those white rubber erasers don’t push down, just drag the eraser along the unwanted lines with a minimum of pressure, really really lightly.

    it’ll take a lot longer,dozens if swipes(I do it in the same direction, so wipe, lift eraser,back to beginning,swipe) but you can get rid of the lines you don’t want without damaging the paper much, if that’s what you’re going for

      Thanks, I think I need to go buy a fresh eraser for this too.

      I just want to remove the excess smudged shading, some of the lines are much more faint in person.
