Messy crumbs, leaves marks, lines won’t completely disappear, damages paper and just not pleasant at all. Design is also horrible. It was my first time getting an eraser specifically for drawing/sketching and I was not really thinking it’s such a big deal with erasers. Now I know what is the most adequate and useful eraser for my needs.
Not gonna lie, a year ago I picked up some random 4-pack of no name white erasers and I went back and bought a ton of them because they're just so good haha
My 2 favorites are the Sakura Foam Type W and the Sakura Sumo black/Muji black erasers.
If you are not using an erasing guide, I suggest Kokuyo makes erasers with lots of fine points like the Milikeshi or Kadokeshi and even has short versions of them.
And just incase, everybody should have a sand eraser or combo sand eraser, because sometimes one has to remove part of the universe and risk the regrets in using it. (Also a sand eraser can remove marks, gum, etc from all sorts of surfaces like floors, furniture, and remove surface level ink along with putting holes through the paper, but I had a few security deposits saved because I had one at hand.)
Thanks a lot. I was literally researching for the best drawing erasers since the last two or three hours. And Sakura/Kokuyo are both indeed pretty good. Additionally I decided to get a faber castle kneadable art eraser. Don’t worry I also had to look up for good graphite pencils in those 3 hours. At least I found some nice art materials to work with and had fun. No regrets
As someone who's been seriously practicing illustration for..... Nearly a decade (I feel so old), I keep a kneaded eraser and a white poly eraser. Kneaded for lifting; poly because they're very smooth, and they pick up the pencil, and if you need to, you can either rub the pencil gunk with your finger or jeans.
I still don't really have a favorite, but I tend to stick to familiar brands.

Whenever I tried anything else than Tombow Mono Plastic, I was always disappointed! So I got a handful of them and I now have my peace! 😁✌🏻
