Freehand drawing is done without tools and relies on hand-eye coordination, while mechanical drawing uses precision instruments like rulers and protractors. Freehand drawing requires good proportions and hand control for smooth lines and shading. Mechanical drawing makes scale drawings of structures with exact measurements. Both types were compared with examples of a floor plan, with freehand emphasizing skill and mechanical focusing on precision.

3. Freehand
Drawing
Freehand drawing is a form, which
is done only by means of hand and
eye coordination.
In simple terms, this type of drawing
is done by a person without use of
any tools like rulers, protractor, etc.,
or by using tracing or any other
such techniques.

4. Freehand Drawing
For freehand sketching,
one needs to have good
sense of proportions, a
smooth motion of hand
that allows to draw neat
lines, and some shading
skills to give more depth to
the drawing.
