jim_thompson5910 · Answer

both will follow the same basic steps

the one done on a computer is going to be more accurate and done without any mistakes

the one done on paper may have a mistake since it's prone to human error

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

the computer drawing will also be done faster and more efficiently (and offer more interactivity) compared to the pencil and paper version
