This requires a pen like the 'flytop', but modified to add a camera, and also have the computer control the release of ink.
First, select a picture to be drawn is by pointing the camera lens at a suitable photo.
Next, scribble with the pen to draw lots of diagonal lines over the paper...
The
pen controls when to release the ink in order
to create a sketch type drawing, similar to
the processing done to a photograph by the Photoshop
sketch filter.

Sort of a ultra-portable printer. If a black ink cartridge was used, with built in nozzles (like on an Epson inkjet), and some kind of position measurement, it could work like those hand-held scanners but in reverse. |

shown in the movie "I, Robot", so this may be a "WIBNITTISIAMWR" or whatever. |

In the film "I robot" it was the robot doing the work rather than the pen. |
