Hi,

I'm a total cel newbie (although I have a suspicion 
that that won't last long...), and I had a question about cel 
sketches. I was wondering if you cel experts could 
help.

You frequently see images cels with sketches, but 
the outline/sketch looks like a mirror image of the cel. It 
looks like somone took the sketch, flipped it horizontally, 
and and then put it back behind the cel.

Is this something 
people do to show that there is a sketch included and show what 
it looks like, or is it some artifact of how the cels are made? I 
just want to know if I buy one, if it'll always have that mirror-
image shadow or if I can seperate the 
layers.

Thanks!!
