>>5941757>since the asymmetry really does become more obvious when you flip the drawing.>which is strange to me because i thought flipping the canvas is to give you a fresh look on the drawing with less "bias" of having seen it in a certain way.Both concepts complement each other in a sense.
Flipping the canvas is good to see some mistakes because they are more obvious, yes, I assume this happens because we are accustomed to process things seen from a fixed perspective at first, but when we see it on a different perspective (AKA flipped), we notice the disruptions quicker because they conflict with our initial perception.
Flipping canvas also reduces the amount of bias we have over a draw because of this, which is more powerful for artists because it puts artists on the eyes of their beholders to some extent, basically you see the draw as others see it more to some aspects.
>So how can the flaws of someone else's drawing suddenly become more glaring when the drawing is flipped?Already responded this but TLDR: Eye sees draw, brain process and assimilates draw, eye sees flipped draw, brain process draw comparing with the original assimilation, catching conjectures quicker.
>Shouldn't we, as unbias people seeing it for the first time be able to see the mistakes easily without it?That's the thing, we are always biased from the start, even if you're constantly flipping the canvas, because this is a very quick mental process that cannot be escaped... not that is any harmful or anything wrong with it, mind you. Surely you can see some mistakes at first without it, but that's solely because your initial perception already tells you about mistakes.
