I'd try Rapidograph pens

http://www.dickblick.com/zz210/03/

If I remember right they are basically a hollow tube with a wire in them.
The wire actuates a valve, thus you would have to be able to lift the pen to
stop the ink. Extremely light touch and very fine lines.

Ceramic-tipped pens might be better. You will get very rapid wear with the
ordinary ones.
