BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY:

Fixating on lack of perfectionism is the most common for artists,

to instantly begin to beat themselves up over a mistake. They tend to
learn by trial and error yet learn much faster when trials are
similar, and errors are clearer. It is a well-known fact that artists
are different and unique in their most special ways. However, one
thing is for sure that no matter how unique and different we are from
one another, committing mistakes is part of our human nature.
Committing and having mistaken in drawing is normal yet it is not
something that all of us should be proud of.

Artists will often make the same mistakes repeatedly at the

beginning of their career without even realizing that they are even
making them. While mistakes are okay and should be expected from the
start, correcting those mistakes can become the first major milestones
in one’s art career. That’s why inventing a what-so-called “erasing
piece” has played a big part in someone’s journey, to correct all the
passive mistakes and turn it to a wonderful masterpiece. Even before,
people tend to use tablets of rubber or wax to erase a graphite mark,
however, when the eraser is finally invented it is also the time for
the artist’s life to get easier. As technology evolves, the invented
eraser come up into different types and shapes, that made it look
soft, coarse rubber and works effectively for erasing larger areas.
However, some artists are not totally satisfied with this invention,
because of failure to effectively remove the graphite marks ingrained
on paper using certain types of erasers.

In accordance with the problem faced by some artists, “Pencil

Eraser” is the best solution to satisfy their needs and meet their
expectation to make their life much easier. A paper-made Pencil Eraser
is an environmentally friendly product, from the materials and design
that are pretty much effective and useful than the others. Through
this Pencil Eraser, the target market which is the artists doesn’t
need to use a certain type of sharpener for this product, instead by
pulling the thread fiber will help them to extend the eraser lead, to
remove and highlight medium like graphite, charcoal, pastel and chalk
as it’s tiny dip level.
