Hello,
Can I use fineliners that are not black or blue for the lessons? I found a set of 0.5mm fineliners for a bargain but it is a range of colors?
thanks.
As long as they're not crazy bright colours, you can use them. But you should be only using one colour per exercise (so not making every box a different colour) unless you're ruling correction lines.
I tend to be more inspired if I use colors. I stick with one per drawing but when I was a teen and pushing myself to live with mistakes (not allowing pencil use) I used only purple felt tip or ball point pens. Im very in to color for mood type things, and using them or even brown was far more appealing for me than black.
Like the Staedtlers, these also come in a set of multiple weights - the ones we use are F. One useful thing in these sets however (if you can't find the pens individually) is that some of the sets come with a brush pen (the B size). These can be helpful in filling out big black areas.
Still, I'd recommend buying these in person if you can, at a proper art supply store. They'll generally let you buy them individually, and also test them out beforehand to weed out any duds.
