• I just tried this tip to remove cat footprints off one of my recent drawings and it's awesome. Get some q-tips and bleach and apply lightly to the paper to remove marks or stains. It lifts the color up immediately but careful not to tear up the paper. Oh and this works only on white paper.

 •  Remove color pencil with artist's tape. Tear off piece of tape and gently press down the tape into the area you wish to remove color. I use my finger in a circular motion and rub the area, then gently remove the tape. Be careful when lifting so as you don't tear the paper.

 • Remove color pencil with an electric, Mars Plastic, Factis, or Design kneaded erasers.

 • Lightly apply adhesive remover with q-tip to lift the color off.

 • Apply Fun Tak a reusable removable blue adhesive, it is great for lifting layers of color pencil.

 • Here's a tip from Denise Leitch - My husband taught me a good way to remove the color from your paper but it has to be done with a very delicate hand. Take an exacta knife and very carefully scratch off the color you wish to remove. Do not use the tip of the blade, use it flat, like you're shaving and use short light strokes; it takes time, and again a light touch, but I've done this countless times successfully, if done correctly you can remove just the color without tearing the paper. You won't get every bit of color off but you can remove enough to reapply the correct color.
