How do you get pencil marks and soft pastel dust off water color?
I'm workiing on this painting of an elephant and the media's I used are pencil, color pencils, water color, soft pastel, and acrylic.
Well when I blew off the soft pastel dust, it just got on the watercolor area. I do NOT have a kneaded eraser with me, so please don't suggest that. I know it would work, tho. So any suggestions?

I've read that white bread was the first eraser used to pick up charcoal and graphite. Try that.

When the dust goes in actually get a soft tissue or cotton bud and the tiniest amount of water to pick it up. However, I found this a little smudging but then when it comes with dust get a make-up blusher brush make sure it is a big one and dust over in circular motions very lightly and eventually dust will come off

Do not erase or you will damage the painting. Instead try adding a thin coat of paint.

got any gum? chew it up, let it dry a bit, and use that to lift the dust off.
good luck.

.instead of sketching it out with pencil try using a brush with a little paint on it.. tone it down with water...

Media is a plural word, so you don't need to put an "s" on the end.
