Mirror canvas
There is a trick that artists used when they wanted to see what corrections needed to
be made in their drawing. They would hold up their drawings or paintings to a mirror
and the reversed image would reveal all the drawing faults in the piece. You can flip
your drawing in SketchBook Pro 6 for this very same purpose. Go to the menu bar
and then navigate to

to flip your image. It is always a good
idea to check your drawing this way. It allows you to make whatever corrections are
needed before the public can see your work. The following screenshot shows a draw-
ing that was mirrored to reveal an awkwardly drawn helmet.
The drawing was corrected with the use of Layers and SketchBook Pro's Symmetry
tools.
