Marker that is permanent Permanent ink markers will write on wax paper, but they will smear until the ink is completely dry. Similarly, dry erase markers will leave marks on wax paper, but they will become more permanent if allowed to dry. Paintbrushes are useful for outlining letters before filling them in with color. Wax paper comes in many sizes and shapes. There is a kind of paper specifically made for drawing on, which is called sketchbook paper. This paper is about 8 1/2 by 11 inches, so it will cover several drawings. The surface can be covered with any medium except paint; otherwise, it will not stick to the paper. Sketchbooks are used by artists to store their ideas and drawings. They are available in various sizes and prices. The best quality sketchbooks are made of heavy stock (a mixture of paper types) with smooth, acid-free pages. These books are sold unpainted side out so that artists can draw on both sides of the page. If you want to write on wax paper, then you should use a marker that is permanent or dry erase pen. Do not use pencils because they will smear the ink. Here are some other suggestions: if you have access to computer graphics, then you can use Adobe Photoshop or similar programs to create your own sketches.
