Why does this happen? Why can it look okay until it's flipped?
>>2482184
Because you don't flip your work often as you go. If you stay in the same position all the time your work will look autistic.
>>2482184
You get accustomed to the view, making you not notice mistakes. Flipping the image "resets" your eye.

If there's something obviously wrong, people will notice. Like a face slanted on one side or a building being skewed wrong.
Think of the flipping as a self-second-opinion. Easy way to go "how does this look to someone else?", without actually having someone else there.

>Like a face slanted on one side
When do you know that's the drawing and not just you? I can take a selfie -- and flip it so that it's different to how I usually see myself in the mirror -- and feel that my face is all fucked up.

people begin to accept a face after looking at it long enough, everyone has assymetries to their face. when you're drawing a face and you flip it you'll notice the assymetries more because of this same thing, but you have a dominant eye for this. so what the other anon is partially true but the jarringness also comes from just not being used to it.
still good to do tho
