Nathan--

Jean and ReNae have it right.

The mirror is a great tool for alerting you to problems of composition, design, "flow," value, and sometimes problems with drawing, which will scream out at you when reversed if they're really serious.

But don't whip yourself overly if the face doesn't look exactly the same both ways. As Jean stated, no face is symmetrical, except maybe a supermodel's, who get hired for having perfect math in their visages. Your draftmanship in this drawing is better than most already, so don't worry so much. If it's off, you're good enough to catch it.

Best--TE
