Almost all erasing techniques suffer from a few problems, such as the inability to create pure whites. An erased area will never match the brilliance of an untouched one, and an erased line, however carefully carried out, will never possess a truly sharp edge. And removing graphite from paper often flattens the surface texture, which results in less tooth for succeeding applications of graphite to adhere to. So let me introduce you to a saviour - although not one for the timid, this method produces white marks with clean, sharp edges, and it protects the white of your paper.
This technique is properly termed 'indenting' or 'impressing' but you may also know it as 'incising' - I used that term a long time ago and it stuck. Strictly speaking, of course, incising involves the act of cutting, which is not what we want at all! No, our goal is to produce a smooth-edged indentation in the paper that later drawing will skip over.
Indenting is pure magic - you apply graphite to the page and pure white lines appear. The method relies on the prior pressing, or indenting, of carefully positioned lines into the surface of your paper. Be aware that it works on some surfaces better than others, and it works best on smooth papers. If the fibre structure is too loose you may produce lines with irregular or fuzzy edges, so you may have problems with paper that is too rough, thick or soft. And speaking of softness, you will achieve the best results by having a really hard surface beneath your paper. Experimentation is essential and you need to find your own solutions.
