drawing pen

Artist's line tool

A drawing pen is a pen designed for precise linework in illustration, technical drafting, or artistic sketching.

Unlike writing pens, drawing pens typically have fine, consistent nibs that produce uniform lines regardless of pressure or angle: She outlined the sketch with a drawing pen before adding watercolor.
