Simple story, my mom who I live with, ABSOLUTELY, hates pencils.
like full-on has been banned from being in the house, but I do have a drawing tablet with a screen on it, could I use that?
I know its not helpful but its really all I have, every pencil I've had my moms thrown away.

Fortunately we don't actually recommend that students go through the course with pencil. Rather, we recommend students use ink - specifically fineliners. You can learn more about why we recommend this over pencils and digital tools in this article.

The short answer is no, you can't use a tablet. It must be the recommended tool. It sucks, but that's how it goes. And honestly with how easy it is to get the materials, maybe that's why those are recommended and why the feedback will only happen with the proper materials

I can't understand why you're getting downvoted when you're absolutely right.

Maybe the way I worded it?

Keep in mind that there is no such thing as the correct way to do the course, yes there are better ways than others but at the end of the day the student is free to make their own decision and it should be respected.

Well not according to them. They were like to me (Basically), get the correct materials to do this course or we're not helping you.
Also sadly I thought I was able to make decisions but not when it comes to drawing at points.

I mean no one can stop you from doing it via tablet. You wont get the same things out of it but I really dont see why you shouldnt use what you have available.
You mentioned only pencils - do you have any pens? Definitely use those before a tablet if you have access.
