The point of spriting is the resulting art, not the process. Use whatever you want to do so, it doesn't matter, as long as the end result is accomplished. If you can create what you need with only a bunch of lines, that's no problem.
There are the caveats, like using the circle tool because it does a poor job of doing so. But, this is a different issue of a reliable tool than "is this technically pixel art?".
