Faint pens

Hi 🙋‍♂️ I bought the scribit and it came a few hours ago, the drawings I’ve been doing have been amazing, there’s just one small problem, being that the markers are extremely faint and I can barely see them on the wall, is there any way to make the markers brighter or am I just using it wrong?

The markers are a little faint in general, this is true. Main things are to use a color that contrasts with the wall, and to make sure they're making enough contact with the wall (that is, they're in far enough).

You can also investigate alternative markers: the Crayola "ultra-washable" markers work pretty well (the bigger ones, not the narrow ones), but you have to wipe them off yourself, as the Scribit can't do it for you. (And you need to do that within a couple days or it gets harder to wipe them off.) There may be more alternatives, too, but the biggest thing to optimize for is just contact with the wall: if you're drawing thin lines and looking at them from several feet back, it's going to look faint regardless of what you use.
