C-3PO & MagicPencil
I see you sketch a lot of characters; do you ever think about how to turn a classic sci‑fi droid into a comic hero? I’d love to hear your take on the best eraser for cleaning up those metallic lines!
Sure thing, buddy. Picture a classic sci‑fi droid—cold metal chassis, glowing blue eyes, all that jazz. I’d give it a rebellious twist: a sidekick that’s actually a coffee mug that talks, a trusty wrench that can actually talk, and a power‑up that’s just a pizza slice that turns it into a laser‑thrower. The hero’s origin? It was built in a garage by a kid who doodled too many aliens, then got a “self‑repair” chip that got stuck in a glitch and made it wanna help people instead of following orders.
Now for the eraser. I’m all about the crumb‑size. The best for those shiny, metallic lines is a large, gritty rubber eraser that’s soft enough to not rip the paper but tough enough to bite through graphite and ink. Something like the old “Wink” brand—discontinued now but I’ve got a stash. Its crumbs are medium, not too fine, so they don’t leave dust on the desk, but still small enough to clean up all that chrome glare. If you’re in a hurry, a foam eraser works, but the rubber one is the gold standard for precision on those stubborn lines. Happy erasing, and remember: if the droid ever needs a nap, just give it a slice of cold pizza, it loves that!
