You don't you'll have to repaint the wall, probably at least 2 coats.

When all of the cleaning solutions fail, you will still see the sharpie marks, plus all of the surrounding marks from the scrubbing. You have basically changed the paint compsition bewteen the area that you tried to clean and the area that was left along.
Paint over the black sharpie with (2) coats of KILLZ (a heavy-duty white primer), found just about everywhere. Then, paint over it with (2) new coats of paint.
Simply painting over the sharpie marks with regular paint will not solve the problem. Fresh paint is intended to be put on walls free from defects. It will hide some minor inperfections (like penci), but not markers. KILLZ puts a mask over the problem. Painting over the KILLZ hides the KILLZ that is hiding the original problem.
Good luck :)

Maybe some of the cleaners mentioned above will remove the marks, but they'll also damage the paint. More then likely you will have to paint the affected areas. But from firsthand experience, the marker will bleed through the new paint too. First, you have to apply a primer over the marks -- possibly 2 coats. Then paint the wall.

Try nail polish remover. Take a portion of the wall that is painted but hidden, mark it with the same marker, and see if your nail polish removes it. If it works, move on to the larger areas.
By design, permanent marker ink penetrates very well. It may not be possible to completely remove it. But it will make it easier to paint over it, if you can remove enough of the dark stains.

omg good luck . My son did this when he was 2 . You can use mr cleans magic eraser that will help some . Also try the kaboom spray but test that first on your walls . If that won't work then you will have to repaint the wall . See i waited 2 years before i tried the spray so it didn't work .

Those magic erasers from mr. clean work on permanent marker an my frig. They also have taken off crayon on walls that are painted. Be careful though are I don't know how much paint it may take off.

Use Amodex spot remover and a Mr. Clean magic sponge and a lot of elbow grease. It worked for me.

Try using a white, chalky toothpaste as a solvent. I got sharpie all over my white kitchen countertops (they were plastic) and it came right off!

Use alcohol or any thing that might contain a lot of alchol like nail polish remover.
