Well, all jokes aside, I really do think it's helpful...it might have been the single most helpful exercise I've done.

Usually I just look at the mirrored version of a drawing through the paper by holding it up against the light. My friend also said he'd gotten the same advice, and that it was a classic art teacher thing to say :)Josteinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10344249571822255028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4477962586552803465.post-65519094228812162722012-12-11T14:14:05.804+01:002012-12-11T14:14:05.804+01:00It's cheap but surprisingly helpful!

It was pretty redundant the way our prof told almost EVERYONE to flip their paintings, but it does help to look at it from a different perspective, ie. with regard to composition and colour. What does she want to specialize (if any) in art school? mottekurunodahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17076974409012870855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4477962586552803465.post-56963883563302423362012-12-11T14:07:31.924+01:002012-12-11T14:07:31.924+01:00Right, and there's also the mirror trick..Right, and there's also the mirror trick..mottekurunodahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17076974409012870855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4477962586552803465.post-19008647785955617842012-12-09T22:37:41.881+01:002012-12-09T22:37:41.881+01:00Heh, sounds a bit like cheap advice...
