Creating an eraser pack

If you want all the erasers in one place, create an eraser pack.

  1. Follow the instructions in Creating a new brush set to create a new brush set.
  2. Follow the steps in Renaming brushes and brush sets‍ to rename the pack.
  3. To add erasers to the pack, do one of two things:
  • If you don’t want to remove the selected eraser from its current set, make a duplicate using Copy Brush (found in the Brush Library marking menu). Once you have a copy, drag it to the new set.
  • Drag an eraser directly into the brush pack. This removes the eraser from its original pack and moves it to the new pack.
