    Ruling pens precede technical pens in the history of art supplies. They were used for drawing lines by hand with India ink. This was an application for drawing lines on a commercial art mechanical. Today, ruling pens and technical pens are still being used as a medium for illustrators creating pen and ink drawings. While some artist prefer one to the other, a ruling pen is easier to clean and works well when only a small amount of ink is needed. You can also get a variety of line thicknesses from one ruling pen. To do the same with technical pens, you'd need to buy a variety of sizes.
