Yes, I will admit to trying this myself, back in the day as a young design student, hand-reproducing a cmyk separation pattern with my Flair pens.

Madness down that path awaits.

I remember this being a thing for a short period while I was in high school, though just black and white. It was amazing really how fast people could crank the images out considering they were just putting dots down on paper.
