Mixing and blending colors with pens

(Ontario, Canada)
I am wondering how to mix colours with a pen, the way you can shade together colours with colored pencils or crayons. How would you blend the colours together if you were using pens? Is it possible?
With most pens, it is not possible to blend colors the same way you would blend with colored pencils or crayons, because the ink does not allow for this.
There are, however, a few types of pens that do allow for blending (although the last one is technically a “marker”):
You can blend these colors together by layering one on top of the other, but make sure the layers are completely dry before you add another layer. You can also blend the colors together using a toothpick while the colors are still wet.
The lines from these Sakura Gelly Roll Glaze Pens are raised and glossy, kind of like an embossed effect. These cool pens even work on ceramics and glass!
Tombow Dual Brush Pens blend easily. They come in 144 colors, but you don’t need to own them all because you can blend colors with the Dual Brush Blender Pen. Tombow Dual Brush Pens are quite versatile, so you can use them for sketching and coloring, and also use them to create watercolor effects. As you can see in the photo above, each pen has caps on both ends – one brushlike and one pointed, so you can create a variety of effects.
Tombow Dual Brush Pens can be purchased individually or in sets, such as sets of grayscale colors, landscape colors, portrait colors, primary colors, secondary colors and manga colors.
Copic Markers are world-famous amongst manga/comic book artists, fashion designers, and fine artists alike. Although Copic Markers are available in hundreds of colors, you can easily blend them to get the colors that you need. They also have a brush-like end and a pointed end. The nibs and marker barrels are replaceable, in case you run out of ink or need a new nib.
