I would like to know if you have been using an electric eraser for the hair or just a normal one

I didn't use an electric eraser for this one. The hair was done mainly by a 2B pencil with a kneaded eraser for some hilight in specific area. You can pull your stroke toward the highlighted area from both end to suggest highlight. An eletrect eraser is nice in some situation but not necessary in my opinion. You can remove most of the graphite if you haven't press your pencil too hard.

Yes, I think that when I draw hair my mistake is that i press the pencil too hard and then the graphite can't be removed easily. Thank you very much, I was just about to but me an electric eraser, but first i'll try using the kneaded eraser and I'll follow your recommendations. Thanks again, I really appreciate your respond
