So, In both cases, flipping your drawings allows you to have a fresh look on an image you've got accostumed to, giving you a better grasp of how others might perceive it: whatever you see plain wrong or "as if it had moved" when flipping, it's something that is off and you needs your attention. Think of this (bilateral coherence) as basic pictorical orthography.

You could perform the next 3 exercises to realize the power of this:

1. Take a masterwork of the artist of your like and flip it. Realize how, also in terms composition, it reads basically the same in both views since the structure is solid enough and in fair equilibrium within the format. This should work as well for expressionist or even abstract works too (for Sadamoto, Rembrandt, Schiele or Kandinsky all the same).

2. Take a picture of you room and flip it. Now you know how others might see it when coming for the first time (and what could they think of you).

3. Take your absolute favourite picture of yourself and flip it. Face the truth.
