The only reason I started using the fine markers is, it makes the image stand out more.
That, and you can rub out and redraw pencil sketches until you’re happy with it, then go over it with the marker to finalise it.
Still, your call. Don’t want to deter you. All we can do is offer suggestions, backed up with reasons. It’s up to you what you use.
If you’re looking into a lining pen I highly recommend either microns or pic related as a cheap alternative. You can purchase these in black and they come in a two pack for less than $3. A set of micron ink pens is also a worthy investment.

Actually, strike that. Go for a 0.5mm fine marker. I vaguely remember the last time I used one of the super fine markers, it dried up very quickly, and the line was a bit too thin.
@YateTiemeng
A fine marker (e.g. a ‘Sharpie’), will set you back a whole £2. (assuming you’re in the UK. Don’t know how much they are elsewhere). You’ll want the 0.2mm superfine really.
I know you’ve said you’re stuck for cash though, but they realm aren’t expensive.
That said, the colouring pencils I use are Darwent, which are at the other end of the spectrum. You can pay out £40+ for a set. Even individual pencils can cost £2-£3.

You can use also use computer programs to lighten up your pictures, that’s what I do with most of mine. E.g. Photoshop, powerpoint, even online there are tools you can use :)

Best way is with a scanner. That’s how I do my own pictures. They come out a lot darker in photos than a scanned version.
I believe I’ve still got one old pic up here that’s got both a photo and a scanned version. That Fluttershy and Ryo Ohki picture. Try searching the tag ‘Cabbit’ (Ryo Ohki is half cat, half rabbit). Both versions should come up side by side, so you can see the difference.
Another thing you could try is going over your drawing with a fine marker, then rubbing out the original pencil sketch. It’s a technique that’s caught on a lot recently, although I’ve been using that style for several years.
Elite skills.
OK! ^^

True. It is about learning. I like drawing so far. It’s a relaxing thing to do.
No problem! The tools don’t matter. I practice with a plain ballpoint pen and printer paper all the time.
I really don’t have access to that kind of stuff but I’ll look into it.
Also thanks for looking at my stuff. It’s nice of you!

I will look into it. I might have a drawing tablet around too.

I see. I can’t afford those tools myself but I will keep it in mind! Thank you!

I’ll certainly need a way to record my drawings better.
You’re very welcome! :)

Thank you very much! _
Needs a bit of detail in her mane and tail, but the rest is pretty much spot-on.
Keep it up!
Thank you!
Also I hope I did the source link well.
