Eraser works identically as brush, only that it removes content instead of adding. There are a few options that are missing for the eraser tool like watercolor or jumble stroke type because it doesn't apply when erasing content.

{% hint style="info" %}
If we lower the opacity of the eraser, it will only reduce the opacity of the content instead of removing it.
{% endhint %}
