Grease Pencil Eraser not erasing properly

hello, I’ve been learning Blender for a few days now, specifically the Grease Pencil feature and run into a problem with the eraser tool. It worked fine at first but now the eraser is not erasing properly. It’s not erasing parts that I want to erase. Instead, it erases a whole lot more than I want.

Thanks!

GP eraser only works on the points of a stroke, not on the filled area.

okay, so in case i want to fill an area but don"t want to fill certain part within that area (e.g. coloring a donut but i want to leave the middle uncolored) how would one do it? bc now I have to manually select parts of my drawing using fill ctrl+LMB

Filling can be tricky sometimes due to the 3D nature of the GP strokes. A solid filled stroke can’t have any holes. So you either have to draw some invisible strokes to divide the area or use a holdout colour.
