honestly, this is the only way I ever achieve any hope of symmetry or sense while doing close up work on ANYTHING
If you go into the ‘view’ drop down and select ‘new,’ you’ll get another copy of what you’re working on. I use this for EVERYTHING because:
You can flip, rotate, zoom in/out, select portions, whatever and the other window will remain at whatever size/zoom/position you set it to originally. This is great for close up work because you are still able to see what your image looks like on the whole without having to zoom in and out after every stroke. It updates in real time as you work in your ‘work’ window. And for faces? You can see exactly if you’re skewing or if something looks wonky immediately.
