The easiest way to learn to paint form and shadow is to have one harsh source of light shine on the objects in focus. Shadows will be clearly defined, and it will become obvious when a light source produces shadows with a sharp or blurred edge, which can be translated into realistic paintings.

Why do drawing pencils not have erasers?
Either way, drawing pencils tend to lack erasers because the expectation is not that artists never erase, but rather when they do erase, artists want control, comfort, and the utmost safety for their medium (be it paper, canvas, or anything else).
