If the eraser erases the pencil, why doesn't it erase the coloring pencil? The answer lies in the core of the pencils. We explain: the core of the writing pencil (made of graphite and a type of clay) sticks more to the rubber than to the paper. Therefore, it leaves easily. The colored pencil is composed of pigments (which give the colors) and waxes, which are used to paint and deposit small particles on the paper. Because they are much smaller than those of graphite, the wax particles enter more into the pores of the paper and are trapped, making it much more difficult to remove them.
