Symmetry

I'm noticing, but not surprised by, asymmetry in places that should be symmetrical in my drawings. It's the frontal facial drawings mostly. So, I'm fixing those today. Thankfully, it's easier to fix in Photoshop. It's fascinating how our eyes will see what we want them to see!

I was in my teens when I decided to see what my drawing looked like in the mirror, and was I shocked! Eyes not aligned in any way; the entire portrait leaning to one side! Years later, I looked at myself in the reflection of two mirrors and discovered to my dismay that one of my top front teeth is out of alignment. Oh, well...symmetry isn't everything!
