ILLUSTRATION TIP
To check an illustration for "errors" in a computer illustration program use the reflect tool. For example: I frequently draw "big hair' on the right side of a subject, flipping the drawing exposes this nicely! (If you're drawing on paper, flip it around and hold it up to the light.)
