Abstract

This article aims to present a comparison between drawing on paper and digital drawing. Drawing is one of the long-standing creative and artistic activities. The use of materials and tools for creating images has evolved with technology, from traditional paper and pencils to modern tablets. Both forms of drawing have their unique characteristics, advantages and disadvantages.

          Tablets are convenient and easy to use for various tasks, such as drawing and writing. The COVID-19 pandemic has led to the rise in popularity of tablets in the digital learning era. Drawing is an activity that requires perceptual, cognitive, and motor skills. It also involves the ability to plan and convey the mental image that a child creates when they start working and adjust their hands to manipulate objects. Therefore, children's drawings are defined by three dimensions: representation, perception and movement
