Any helpful tips to stop lil ones from writing on walls?

Any time my son finds a colored pencil, a pen, a crayon or what have you; the first place it goes is to the wall. He doesn't do it only when I am trying to finish dishes, or put away clothes; but if we're playing together or something we'll think he's finding a toy, But hes "found" a pen and draws all over the walls. We've done all we can think to do to get him to know its naughty, and he knows it is but keeps doing it. We keep the pens put up and half the time we have no idea were he got them from; he hides things in his room. If anyone has advice on the drawing bandit lol it would be very helpful. Thank you.

hids all the pens! Really though - give him something he can draw on - like an easel or maybe put some large pieces of paper on the wall with some tape (not to sticky or it will take off the paint or paper) then he could draw there.

the magic eraser will get rid of it! my parents picked one room in the house that we could draw on the walls, most of my siblings re very artistic and i wonder if this is why. maybe you can pick one spot on one wall or maybe get him an easel.
