Unpopular opinion: Hand drawn coastlines look better than digital ones

Idk maybe it's just me but I used to do all my maps on a tablet with this fancy brush pack I bought. Spent like 6 months doing it that way. Then I tried doing a coastline by hand with a cheap fountain pen on paper and it just had this roughness I couldn't get digitally. But digital is way faster for editing and fixing mistakes. What side are you on now and what made you switch?

My shaky hands make digital coastlines look like zigzag lightning bolts anyway.

@elizabeth_gonzalez the real trick is tracing your own shaky hand lines into a vector.
