I think it has more to do with what you're paying attention to.
I agree. That's why I noticed the dead guy!
The LB/RB thing is odd and I'm not sure I remember everything from the classes that talked about it (and it appears I got the halves mixed up). There's a book called Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain which is pretty standard fare in art classes now. There's a website that gives you an idea of how it works. If you turn off the rational/logical side of the brain, it allows you to draw what you see rather than what you think you see. That's why a lot of artists will lay out their work on a grid, to better allow them to get the proportion and perspective right. Without reference points like that, it's a shot in the dark to get a copy of anything right.
