Taking A Step Back

I work on a drafting table that is set at about a 40 degree angle. I am often surprised by how this can throw off my drawing. I am constantly propping the work up somewhere so I can stand back and get a good look at it. Occasionally I turn it upside down to check for balance. I don't have a mirror large enough at the gallery to try looking at it that way. I also sit for most of my painting time. I tend to stand more when I am doing areas of movement. Standing helps feed the energy I want to convey in my work.
