Nathan -
Nice drawing, and I think what you're bringing up is very important: after spending time on a drawing, the artist needs "tricks" to help break that hypnotic hold the piece has on our perceptions, so we can see it objectively, to work through basic drawing and compositional weaknesses.
Viewing it in a mirror, or upside down, or in a digital photograph all help. And ideally, these negotiations are made early in the process, not days into the final painting.
What's your medium? Looks like three colors, a cool black, an earth red and an ochre.
I also think it's interesting that the left-handed artist is the only one who thought the second image read as the original.
