Maybe is a stupid question, but, i have to do warmups with fineliners or i can use pencil or ballpoint?

That's actually a pretty fair question, but one I haven't really considered. Ideally using a fineliner for all of them is best, but it really depends. Some exercises benefit a lot from the fineliner (like anything texture related), but a lot of the benefit of using fineliners is achieved as you continue to actually use it for the main course work.

I definitely wouldn't use a pencil though - ballpoint pen should be okay for most cases.

Personally I use pencil during warm ups to save on ink. I haven't found any significant difference between doing warm ups with either tool.
