A craft or hobby knife works well for small details or erasing or making white marks (or lighter ones) with pastel -- you use it to scrape off the pastel on your painting. It also can be used for making a glare on eyes and animals' eyes.
Tip from: Audrey Twigg.
If you are using chalk, charcoal, or pastel and you make a mistake, simply roll up a piece of Blue Tac and press firmly in to the lines you wish to remove. This will lift out the medium and will avoid having to rub all over with an eraser which just makes an awful mess.
Tip from: Rosie France.
