How it works:

The whole process is that you draw with both hands simultaneously, creating a symmetrical "mirror" picture.

As described in the book «The Artful Year»:

«Keeping both hands on the markers, put them next to the tips, at one point in the center of the paper. Start drawing the two markers simultaneously, creating a "mirror" image. For example, when the left hand moves to the left edge of the paper, the right should move to the right edge. And when left pen moves to the center, and right then, too, must move to the same point. » Em>
