So below I am working on a paint type project for class that lets you draw shapes lines etc, now my professor wants us to add a eraser tool that lets you erase parts of the image, it is on a buffered image any ideas? im fresh out

One way: Graphics2D has a clearRect(…) method that allows you to set a rectangle to the background color (set via the setBackground(…) method). Why not use this in conjunction with a MouseListener and MouseMotionListener (combined in a MouseAdapter)?
