Q: What does “tracing” mean in Assignment 2? Are we just supposed to talk through what would happen conceptually without running the program itself? That variable x would be type int or a float depending on if the number has decimal places. Q: If we assign a variable x a numerical value without asking for input does that default to a string type as well?Ī1: Nope. Q: Where’s the link to the spotify playlist that you use?Ī1: Playlist is called History of Sounds on spotify! Q: Is the default input type always a string?

Tip #5 – Slice It UpĮver struggle to find the perfect-sized eraser, or one with a sharp, pointy tip? Create your own customized eraser with a simple handheld cutter – just be sure to steady your eraser on a solid surface before you start slicing and dicing. Experiment with different types of erasers, use finger-blending and vary the amount of pressure you apply. With an eraser (preferably a white vinyl or kneaded rubber one) you can ‘draw’ your image – the great thing about this technique is that it’s very forgiving, since you can always re-fill any areas where you’ve over-erased. One of the most common (and satisfying) techniques involves covering a piece of drawing paper completely using a graphite pencil or charcoal crayon. Tip #4 – Erasers Aren’t Just For MistakesĮrasers can be used to create inspired, highly-detailed works of art.
Gently lift your paper and give it a gentle shake to clear it off – the extra effort is worth it. Tip #2 – Sand It OffĮver used an eraser to tidy up your work, only to wind up with a bigger mess because your eraser was dirty? Breathe life into your old, used erasers with a piece of medium-rough sandpaper – a few quick rubs on the soiled end of your eraser and it’ll look (and work) like new! Tip #3 – Lift & Shake, Don’t Brush & Blowįor clean, smudge-free results, resist the urge to brush or blow off the debris left on your work after you’ve used an eraser – this can cause unwanted smudging and introduce moisture from your breath onto your work. Whatever you do, don’t even think of tossing it into the microwave. You can take the chill off your eraser by holding it in your hand for a few minutes, or for hands-free warming, simply sit on it. Most erasers (especially ones made from natural materials) work best when warmed a warm eraser has more tack, is more pliable and it’s less likely to cause unwanted ripping and tearing of your paper. Here’s five quick pencil erasing techniques and tips to help you make the most of your eraser(s): Tip #1 – Warm It Up Erasers are the unsung heroes of the pencil world, but we’re about to change that by showing you just how valuable these little sidekicks can be!
