I made those two edits because the second-to-last sentence is repeating something from earlier in your post, and the last sentence is completely beside the point of both your question and your answer.

<p>You might try Frixion erasable pens - they're not perfect; you can't easily draw on an area you previously erased, and the colors aren't usually as vivid as with other kinds of inks, but it's the best blend of color and erasability I've found.</p>

The question here is asking about pencils, not pens/ink.

@AllisonC Well, yes, but conceivably that's because pencils are the medium known for their erasability.  It seems relevant to me that there ALSO exist highly-erasable pens.  Were I asking this question, I would likely be interested in knowing about the existence of these pens.

<p>The fine arts shop recommend me a Blue Faber Castell Polychromos pencil for sketch (the lines and geometrics figures that we start first before we can draw the face or the body). But I can not erase it with the rubber.</p>

# Erasable blue pencils for sketching?

(Asked by: username_0 on 2019-07-16)

I've just started to learn to draw comics.

The fine arts shop recommend me a Blue Faber Castell Polychromos pencil for sketch (the lines and geometrics figures that we start first before we can draw the face or the body). But I can not erase it with the rubber.

I want a blue pencil for sketch, and I want to erase it.

What do you recommend me for sketching?

It seems that I have to mention: "I'm not asking about brands".

I have found that colour pencils are not erasable. There are ones that are erasable, and you can find them searching on Google.

The main thing here is "colour pencils are not erasable".

About using colour pencils on sketching, it is something that people do to avoid the lines being detected by photocopiers.
