Abstract
This paper situates the increased application of digital means instead of manual drawings. This traditional ability is moving toward the digital age and is largely replaced by online delivery knowledge for most of the art, design and science subjects. Exception has been placed for practical and/or studio-based science subjects. It also provides examples of well-known designers and creative artists and architects harvesting an understanding of these two means of cognitive recorded expressions. First, it offers an analysis that covers the definition of “drawing” -manually or digitally- and the meaning of “visual thinking representation”; second, it investigates and compares the most common advantages and disadvantages of the digital tools (software) contribution to visual drawing. And finally, an emphasis of reflection is placed, if the ability to represent visual images manually or digitally is necessary in today’s academic institutions, discussing future possible implications for students born-digital or paperless technology.
