Just some morning practice. I will do more when I get home from work.  
I wonder how negative the score will be, haha.

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.

Looking good. I can’t wait to see more from you.
 
If you’re looking into a lining pen I highly recommend either microns or pic related full 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.

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.

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.

Well, can’t see anything wrong with this at all.
 
Needs a bit of detail in her mane and tail, but the rest is pretty much spot-on.
 
Keep it up!
