Eraser dust is a byproduct of the hard work that goes into an original artwork. I decided on the name because its one of the little things that I make up my world. Of course, some projects don't involve pencils. But I like to think of "eraser dust" as an indicator of "no short cuts". I'm not tracing or photoshopping, and I rarely even use a grid. I like the free and intuitive aspect of figuring out how to freehand a sketch. And I love the way it all comes together as you build something where there was nothing before.
