I almost really screwed up with this one. I used an eraser that apparently had an oil in it. It left horrid marks on the paper (you can check that out below). I was REALLY close to trashing it. Good thing I slept over it. I was able to mostly save it. I can still see the marks, but they aren’t as taunting now lol
