Blob Brush Tool and erasing?

[Michael Domino]

Hi :·)

I do a lot freehand work in illustrator - and I use the blop brush tool for some of this.

Is it possible to make a keyboard shortcut/command so that when I draw whith the blob brush tool in Illustrator, I can easily switch back and forth between the eraser tool and the blob brush tool. Ideally if I could hold down the alt/option key and get the eraser tool temporarily as with the eyedropper tool in PS. 

Any help would be greatly appreciated :·)

Not quite so easily as that. The closest you could do is set the tools to single-key shortcuts (the defaults are Shift+B and Shift+E). You can change shortcuts under Edit > Keyboard shortcuts

You could even set these shortcut as numbers on your keyboard. Blob Brush as 1 and Eraser as 2 for example
