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.
Thanks for your feedback, ScoobyClub.
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.
