pen and ink
Calligrapher's traditional tools
Pen and ink refers to the traditional writing and drawing medium—a pen dipped in liquid ink.
The phrase often describes a style of illustration using fine lines without color washes: a pen and ink sketch.
In British rhyming slang, pen and ink means stink: What a pen and ink!
