May I use a fountain pen?

9:33 PM, Saturday January 22nd 2022

Rather than buying a bunch of fine-liners, would it be alright if I used a fountain pen to complete the DAB exercises? My pen makes very fine, clean lines and doesn't permit any shading, only cross-hatching. I do plan to submit my work for official critiques.

Thanks for any insight.

Any work submitted for official critique requires all the rules to be followed. This includes using fineliners.

See here, there are good reasons.
