Final answer:

Drypoint permits the most freely drawn line in printmaking.

Step-by-step explanation:

The type of process that permits the most freely drawn line is drypoint. In drypoint, the artist scratches directly into a metal plate using a burin, creating strong line quality with a slightly blurred edge. The resulting prints have velvety darks and exhibit the effects of the burrs created during the incising process.
