The marking device holder may comprise a body, an instrument holder, and a plurality of touch points. The marking device holder may be operable to move a writing instrument over a writing surface in a straight line. The writing instrument may detachably couple to the instrument holder such that the writing instrument contacts the writing surface. The plurality of touch points may form a stable base for the body that may resist tipping and may reduce friction during forward motion of the body. As non-limiting examples, the writing instrument may be a pen, a pencil, a mechanical pencil, a marker, or a stylus. As non-limiting examples, the writing surface may be paper or a device screen.

An autograph support device includes a supporting member that supports an image carrier having a planar image display surface such that the image display surface that displays a mirror image of an image displayed on a planar writing surface is located above the writing surface of a writing medium having the planar writing surface; and a half mirror that is disposed between the writing surface and the image display surface and has a mirror surface facing the image display surface . The image display surface and the writing surface are disposed at an equal optical distance from the mirror surface of the half mirror interposed therebetween. A writing surface lighting fixture that radiates light from the mirror surface side toward the writing surface side to illuminate the writing surface is provided on the writing surface side from the mirror surface.
