What else is an appearance? Well, pretty much everything except the path: a fill, a stroke, a pattern brush, and a 3D extrude effect are all appearances. The actual object here is the path going through the centre of the brushstroke the brush itself is an appearance.
The things you can no longer see are called appearances - everything you might find listed in the Appearance panel when you select an object. It’s a series of paths that have no visual information except a pixel-width line. If you use Outline mode (found under the View menu, or Command/Control + Y), Illustrator presents you with the skeleton of whatever you’re drawing. As I said earlier, it involves a core concept in Illustrator: the difference between Objects and Appearances. But first I’ll discuss why it can’t do these things. You might justifiably ask: what is the point of it then? What can it do? The answers will be, I’m afraid, disappointing for most. The bad news is that the eraser tool can’t do any of these things! Not exactly as described, anyway. Probably a common thought: how can I get rid of only one side of a square, or part of another shape? Seems logical to just erase it, right? Some bad news Maybe you’re used to doing similar things in PhotoShop. Illustrator comes with a bunch of nice painterly brushes, but sometimes you’re going to want to cut back into them and selectively erase long tails or otherwise neaten them up. Sometimes you’ll end up with path end caps protruding from the edge of your illustration, or an excessive miter jutting out that you’d like to lop off, and need a way to shave them.
