Terminology
- Flopping: When we talk about "Flopping" we're talking about the common practice of flipping a drawing vertically to see the mirror side. This is a common technique used to see side biases. Most artists have a bias to either the right or the left depending with is their dominant eye or dominant hand that leads to a part of a drawing that appears flat or uneven. This is often not directly apparent but can be very obvious when that bit of art needs to be seen the other way. "Flopping " a drawing will show the artist where these spots are, and correct them. So when the drawing is flopped back to the intended direction, it's more solid.
