Erasers

You can find erasers in multiple brush packs in the Brush Library.

There are two erasers - the Cashmere Eraser and the Textured Eraser - in the basic brush set which is open by default. There are also erasers in many of the other brush sets.

• For handheld phone device users, tap  and scroll through the Brush Library to find different erasers.
• For tablet users, if the erasers aren't visible in the palette, tap-drag up or down within the palette to expose them.

Because an eraser is a brush that draws transparent pixels, any brush can be turned into an eraser by using transparent color.

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 the brush library menu or the marking menu in Sketchbook Pro. 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.

Convert a brush to an eraser

If you have a favorite brush and want an eraser just like it:

1. in the Brush Library, use the menu to duplicate the brush
2. open the duplicated brush's Brush Properties
3. from the drop-down menu just underneath the brush name, change the brush type to Eraser

Erase with Transparent Color

You can turn any brush into an eraser by using Transparent Color.

Modifying an eraser

To make changes to an existing eraser, do the following:

1. select the eraser you want to modify and access Brush Properties
2. Edit the eraser, then close the Brush Properties and continue drawing.
