==History==
Lee Newman patented a felt-tipped marking pen in 1910.<ref>Lee W. Newman, Marking Pen, [https://patents.google.com/patent/US946149A U.S. Patent 946,149]. January 11, 1910.</ref> In 1926, Benjamin Paskach patented a "fountain paintbrush",<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.freepatentsonline.com/1601596.pdf |title=Fountain paintbrush |publisher=Freepatentsonline.com |access-date=2014-04-30}}</ref> as he called it, which consisted of a sponge-tipped handle containing various paint colors. Markers of this sort began to be popularized with the sale of [[Sidney Rosenthal]]'s Magic Marker (1953), which consisted of a glass tube of ink with a felt wick. By 1958, use of felt-tipped markers was commonplace for a variety of applications such as lettering, labeling, and creating posters.<ref>[https://archive.today/20120526042234/http://inventors.about.com/library/inventors/blpen.htm History of Pens & Writing Instruments], About Inventors site. Retrieved March 11, 2007.</ref> The year 1962 brought the development of the modern fiber-tipped pen (in contrast to the marker, which generally has a thicker point) by Yukio Horie of the Tokyo Stationery Company (which later became [[Pentel]]).
In 1987 [[Copic]] Sketch markers were released, further popularising markers for professional illustration.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://copic.jp/en/about/history/|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20250114184956/https://copic.jp/en/about/history/|archivedate=2025-01-14|title=COPIC HISTORY [Section: "1987 - Launch of Copic Markers"]}}</ref>
