Electric eraser saves the day!

So I’m working on my next colored pencil piece (WIP coming soon if all goes well), and I’m struggling a bit. I wanted to go for a darker skintone this time because I thought it would contrast my hair choice nicely. But I always have trouble with darker skintones and I think my reference was confusing me.
I seriously almost scrapped it and started over with lighter skin—I even copied it onto tracing paper to transfer to a new page and start over. But I kept trying and in one section of the face I felt like I really got it and knew what to do.

So then I broke out my electric eraser and decided to try and fix the other sections. And boy, is it satisfying! The eraser scrapes the wax clean off! It doesn’t take all the color off the paper but I can easily cover that up, the wax buildup is the problem. I haven’t been using this tool for long but it is revolutionary! Definitely recommend.
