Spent 6 hours on a single Procreate piece and hated it until I flipped it upside down

I was working on this digital portrait for a client in Seattle, tweaking the eyes for what felt like forever. Then I flipped the canvas horizontally and realized the whole left side of the face was 15% bigger than the right. Flipping your art regularly should be BASIC but I never bothered until now. Has anyone else had a major screw-up saved by just rotating the view?

Flipping it horizontally is a game changer, but what about vertical flips? I had a piece where the chin was way off center but only caught it when I turned my iPad upside down. Do you think flipping vertically catches different mistakes than horizontal does?

Huh, I guess I'm the weird one who doesn't get that bent out of shape about it. If my chin is off by a hair, nobody's gonna call the art police.
