Using feather quill instead of a pen doesn't make it better, it's about how the artist uses the tools that he chooses. There's an old adage that says "It's not what you've got but how you use it". That line is most frequently uttered by men who got the short end of the stick, so to speak :wink: However "It's not what you've got but how you use it" is very true when it comes to art.
