繪圖水筆通常為沾水筆，包含一柄桿或握柄，筆尖為金屬製或玻璃製，通常與一組具特定形狀且可進行替換的筆尖搭配使用。筆尖的大小與外觀包含寬、扁、窄、尖各種型式。繪圖水筆用於書法、寫字與繪圖。古典時期已開始使用與繪圖水筆結構類似且帶有金屬製筆尖的書寫工具，但相較於蘆葦筆及羽毛筆，這種筆在十九世紀以前較少人使用。其中一個年代久遠的例子是在龐貝古城遺址發現的青銅筆。

英文....	Pens, generally dip pens, consisting of a shaft or holder and a metal or glass pen point, often interchangeable with any in a set of specially shaped pen points, ranging in size and shape from broad and flat to narrow and pointed. These pens are used in calligraphy, lettering, and drawing. Similar devices with metal pen points were known in Classical times but were used much less than the reed and quill prior to the 19th century. An ancient example is a bronze pen that was found in the ruins of Pompeii.
荷蘭語....	Pennen met een pennenhouder en een serie speciaal gevormde punten die in grootte en vorm variëren van breed en plat tot smal en puntig. Worden gebruikt in de kalligrafie en belettering.
