A marking implement has a body that has a marking device on one side of the body. The marking device is designed for leaving a mark on a surface. On a distal second side of the body is a strap or straps for removably affixing the body to an appendage/digit of a user (e.g., a single finger or fingers) so the marking implement does not require pressure from another appendage of the user to work. Movement of the marking device across a surface deposits a mark on the surface such as a pen line pencil line, highlighter line, strip of pain, ink line.

A body for a writing, tracing, drawing or coloring pencil has a composition that has, by weight, with respect to a total weight of the body between 50% and 95% of a mixture of polylactic acid and polybutylene succinate in a polylactic acid/polybutylene succinate ratio by weight of between 90/10 and 60/40 and between 5% and 50% of filler that includes an organic filler, such as wood fibers. A writing, tracing, drawing or coloring pencil includes such a body.
