Whenever i seem to draw stuff, it looks okay to me, but then looks weird if i flip it, and i can't help thinking it has to do with my astigmatism, or something to do with my left handedness.



for example, this looks fine the way its oriented now, but if i mirror it, the eyes seem oddly "off" of the cheek, the face doesn't look right anymore.

is it just that im used to looking at it the initial way, or just that i'm not drawing it right in the first place do to X visual distortion?



hat in this picture is suspect.

i know i'm not the only one to have this problem, but its hard to really SEE the problem myself without knowing how other people see it.

The flipping thing is normal, Quazi. A lot of digital artists flip their canvas every once in a while as they work to get a fresh look and even things out.

It's a combination of seeing your drawing at an angle (having a slanted drawing table kinda helps against this), the pivot of your arm and getting used to your drawing. If you're drawing/painting with traditionals use a mirror or just rotate it upside down every once in a while, use flip often when it's digital. It's something that leaves you alone with enough practice.
