@Sony27sm Thanks! My little sister (who is a big Hello Kitty fan) gave me a few of these cheap crazy pens over the years. Rather than throw them away, I thought about actually using them. Admittedly, I only use the red, green and yellow ink (sometimes blue) along with my workhorse Bic4 pen.

Bic4 Ballpoint Pen, Sanrio Novelty 10 Colour Ballpoint Pen on Archival 8.5" x 11" paper.
A breakdown of the Bic4 pen and No-name 10 colour pen layering that I’ve used.
Drawing in a single direction instead of using back-and-forth movement alleviates some of the blotching that happens when using ballpoint pens. The back-and-forth method usually deposits the gunk that builds up on the tip of the ballpoint, smearing them in unexpected and unfortunate places on the drawing. When using the back-and-forth method, I usually have a napkin handy in order to clean the tip of the pen. Model: Meadhbh (Maeve)
