Hand drawing vs. digital vs. 3d modelling

The design of my Victorian-inspired plate is a combination of hand drawing and digital painting applied on a 3D- modelled plate. Below is a breakdown of the creative process, from start to finish.

The flower pattern is drawn by hand.

The drawing is then scanned and digitally traced and painted.

The pattern is applied to the plate which I modelled in Blender 3D
