I think one is not meant to erase blue pencils because they do not turn up
in print, or they can be easily removed when the artwork is scanned in the
computer. The people I know who use blue pencils do not use it to pencil
the page fully though. They use it to pencil only the basic structure of
the figures in the page. In this way, when one makes a mistake, you can
erase the grey pencil but your structure beneath, drawn in blue pencil,
will remain unerased.

I use a light box, but I use it to check the integrity of my drawing.
Flipping over the page and looking at my drawings, as if from a mirror,
would reveal many flaws that I would not normally see had I been looking at
it right side up.
