Writing instruments are used to apply ink, India ink or graphite to a writing medium. They are characterised by a thin elongated design in order to be held and guided comfortably while writing. Typical examples are lead pens (pencils, wooden crayons), feather pens (fountain pens), felt-tip pens (highlighters), ballpoint pens and rollerballs, but also brushes, grips, wax crayons and even blackboard chalk. For more writing comfort, variants for right- and left-handers are available. Wooden crayons, for example, can also be used for painting, pencils for drawing.
