Well, I can try to get you started with some ideas.

For the erase part, do you simply want to have a button that clears the whole drawing? Or have an eraser where you're erasing part of your drawing?

There's probably a few ways you can approach deleting the colors. Either have a delete button which when clicked would delete the currently selected color. Or all the colors could have an "X" near them which would delete the corresponding color. Or possibly only the selected color would have an "X" next to it and it would delete that color.

See what you can get started with and post any more questions or problems you're having.
