The concept of a color picking pen has existed for more than a decade now after it was introduced by the Korean designer Jin Sun Park. The idea was to use a color sensor on a pen to gather color data on a surface which then would be processed in the same way a printer processes it and then mixes inks to use it on paper.
This idea generated a lot of interest with attempts being made by multiple entities. However, the idea had a lot of complication ranging from compute, power and fitting associated tech in a pen instead of a printer.
With the prevalence of digital devices growing rapidly, today’s technology is mature enough to deliver the long-awaited marvel and Wilmington based Tooliqa Inc. has leveraged it to create Quill, a smart stylus with color picking ability, meant for kids and artists.

The road to creating Quill with no compromises in functional quality required some tweaks in concept for practical feasibility. The Quill team achieved it by not restricting color capture in any way but the replication of it restricted to the digital medium. With growth in Ed-tech and a shift in learning tools towards digital, this might be a blessing in disguise given the rise of digital art and NFTs. With concerns around environmental impact, digital is desirable too.
Rooted in inspiration from the beautiful colors of nature, Quill envisions to make the digital art experience as smooth as paper and pencil drawing. Quill is also adding to the ecosystem of digital art by offering a compelling app which allows seamless drawing with picked colors, making art in 3D, collaboration with friends for creating & sharing art and learning the science of colors in an intuitive interface. Designed around kids, Quill is attempting to offer a balance of real world and digital world experience, foster social learning and nudge innate creative instincts for kids, which is being noticed by artists on Instagram.

The Quill bundle also has another companion to creativity which Tooliqa calls Qube, which serves twin functions of being a wireless charger to Quill and an Alexa smart speaker. It’s an elegantly designed device with schedule assistance & learning features powered by Alexa, built to support children’s creativity and routine.
With the DfM prototype of Quill & Qube ready, Tooliqa wishes to put this innovative offering for making art in the hands creative minds and are on their way to gather support from parents and the art community at just the perfect place – crowdfunding at Kickstarter!
Hoping for a success, Quill’s campaign is coming to Kickstarter early in the second week of June with deliveries planned by Tooliqa in the coming holiday season:
