    I've never had to remove ink myself but I googled for you and found this:

    Step 1 Saturate the ink stain with hair spray.

    Step 2 Allow the stain to fully dry.

    Step 3 Mix a solution of one part water to one part white vinegar.

    Step 4 Pour the solution on the stain.

    Step 5 Brush the area lightly with a medium-bristle brush, preferably a toothbrush.

    Step 6 Continue brushing until the stain is gone.

    Step 7 Blot the area with a dry, white cloth.

    Step 8 Flood the area with water.

    Step 9 Blot again.

    Step 10 Allow to dry.

    Hairspray doesn't generally work on wet ink patches, moreso marker and lines that have been drawn. I would try isocol and a sanitary pad personally. Yellow Crayon I would use paper towel and a warm iron (just make sure your carpet isn't going to melt with the iron so do a spot test first).

    I just found another tip for you for ink using WD40 (which is what I use for oil stains)
