It depends on the media. When I draw with charcoal I use kneaded erasier, paper stump, color shaper, and my finger, I might also try to use a cotton rag. I have experimented with adding a little sand to the paint, and using a rag, sand paper, my finger and a palette knife to create diffrent effects and structures in oilpaintings, inspired by Odd Nerdrum. If you study these self portraits of him, you can see some of what I mean:
I like this artist's style very much! Oils I've always considered second to none in terms of the textures and realism one can achieve. I like keeping a hoard of cotton buds at hand when using charcoal, using the compressed form in pencils creates that annoying fine residue that sits on top of the drawing and smudges everything.
I will have to practice using palette knives with painting at some point; I know one of my favourite online artists creates some beautiful impressionism with them:http://artbyteresa.deviantart.com/

Aerial shot of trenches along the Somme, looks like a bloomin' martian canal trundling across the pockmarked sorry surface of the moon, not a blasted to bitter heck patch of previously pleasant countryside.

She is really good with the palette knives. I like some of her paintings, but some of them are to strong in colour for my taste. I agrea with you on your statement about oils. I haven't used the compressed chorcoal much and haven't tried using them for detaild works, but if I do I will remember your tip on cotten buds I'm using it right now on my sketch though, and I like that it doesn't erase as easily as the willow charcoal, it creates nice effects.This is a drawing I sold on the last exhibition I attended. It's drawn with willow charcoal.

^I use Lascaux, I've read many prefer it.
I might try ink one day, but only to trace pencil drawings or maybe in a watercolour. I have to be able to erase, as I'm not that good at drawing.
Thank you! I exhibit when I have enough new art work to show. I'm not very productive, so it's not often. For a period of time it was every other year.
