Also, question for you digital artists ... what the heck does "flip the canvas" mean?

...no clue

I didn't even know that was something I was supposed to do

least it ain't just me

anyway, one of my bajillion goals this coming year is to dip more into doing stuff with the tablet I've had for ... almost a decade ...

Need to get over my discomfort with not being able to see what I'm drawing ON the surface itself and just get used to it

Doing a horizontal flip on the image can help point out errors that you miss when looking at it the same way for too long. Like drawing someone standing up and then flip the canvas and realizing they're doing a lean, or the eyes aren't lining up quite rigtht on a face

It gives a fresh perspective on what you've done so far

Oh! That's ... really cool, actually. Thank you for enlightening me!

I forget to flip the canvas so much because I flip my tablet like an idiot

... honestly that'd be me

too used to physical art mediums

LOL I understand completely, my husband doesn't understand digital art very well so (handshake)
