To erase charcoal drawings, use a kneaded eraser, shaping it to fit the area and gently dabbing or lifting the charcoal, rather than rubbing, to avoid smudging.

You can use a kneaded eraser, a vinyl eraser, or a cloth to erase charcoal drawings. A kneaded eraser is good for blending and lifting charcoal, while a vinyl eraser is better for removing sharp lines.

Gently dab or press it onto the area instead of rubbing, to lift the charcoal without smearing. Thank you

Knead the bread softly, shape it into any shape you want, flat or pointed, and use it to change details and remove charcoal to add highlights, etc. You can also press the bread against the drawing without kneading it or rub it gently over the drawing to produce subtle changes in tones.

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).
