I freaking have to. That's why I find it so hard to draw with a tablet, I don't have a program that'll lemme rotate it easily. So all the vertical lines on the lineart look good and all the horizontal lines are all wobbly.
:iconspacebubble:
Well,....very very occationally. I usually only rotate it to check my proportions are right, as I noticed if I flip my pictures over everything is a bit skewed. I don't actually rotate it to draw usually.

i use oC 4.5, and it has a free rotate tool. like, on the navigation window (where you see your stuff as you do it), it has a little circular line with an arrow. you just click, hold and pull to either side andit rotates. i always have my pictures at some weird angle when i'm working :lol:

if i couldn't rotate my paper i couldn't draw anything. i'll often draw sideways or with the majority of the picture upside down.

Lately I've found myself having to do so, especially for comics where the angle's more likely to go all over the place, like this one panel where it's all upside-down. It's all about the angle you're most used to making with your hand, so once you get used to that, it can be hard to go another way :\

yeah. i guess some people hold their pen over their hands, some to the side, or if you're like i am, below.



in some ways, i really do hold my pen like a lefty.

No, never.. just when I'm drawing things that are upsidedown for some reason.
:iconmuffinmachine:
i often forget to until i'm very far into a drawing. I also wish I could do it on the computer but apparently my computer isn't good enough to support that in photoshop. lame. It's definitely important though.

i'll draw things that are supposed to be 'right side up' upside-down.
