Sorry, I don't think I answered your question properly.
Dot work is easier than lines because there's less chance of going too deep or missing the line or slipping.
Scroll can be shaded with dots with great detail but it takes about ten times as long and does'nt look so clean and sharp,
Hope that answers your question.
