So are you beautiful people tired of your art and drawings looking slanted or lop sided, your photomanips look off on one side and so does your paintings, a case of bad symmetry?

The solution is to flip your piece!

Artist have been using mirror trick for ages now, this simple method composed of taking your art piece and placing it in front of a mirror to see it in the flip view. This will allow you to see it in a new angle and spot errors you never would of seen if you were not to use the flip effect.

This also can be done digitally, for example in Photoshop just go to image>image rotation and Flip Canvas Horizontal. Some digital artist also do chunks of their art or details in the artwork this way: so when they flip the image back to normal the errors are corrected.


This method is really effective when you do it in stages, like if your drawing a person you draw the basic figure and shapes and gesture then look in the mirror to see if it looks right, when your satisfied add on anatomy and check again, then details like values etc, then check again. Before submitting a piece always flip to correct your piece. I recommend the stage approach because if you wait to use the mirror at the end of the work when the art is done, it may be difficult or you won't be able to fix errors in the art pieces.

The best thing is to also a wait a day after finishing to look at the image before submitting it, so your eyes will be fresh and then flip it and also it doesn't hurt to get another set of eyes and honest mouth to look at your art to give you feedback to see if your really done
