I wonder if Tuff is left handed. He'd probably have the best insight since he probably know a few painters.

Actually I'm right handed. I used to be almost entirely ambidextrous, but I've grown into using my right hand for painting etc.
Interesting theory, but I think it may be more down to eye dominence. If I draw (which is a joke in itself as I draw like a 2 year old.. but we'll ignore that...) something thats meant to be symetrical without "planning", I almost always find it comes out lop sided.
When I painted a large Orc skull, Goblin head & various other things on my bedroom wall many years ago, someone pointed out that they were all slightly lop sided in exactly the same fashion - details such as ears and teeth on the right tended to be slightly longer & thinner than those on the left & apparently that was down to eye dominence & perception at short distance.
Whenever I paint eyes or other details on a model I now paint the right eye normally, but turn the piece upside down to do the left eye. It means I'm not relying on my other (left, slightly weaker I think)eye to see "around" the nose of the figure, but am instead still relying on my right eye (which is my dominant eye).
Just a theory...... 
I'll have to ask the real pros on the "masterclass miniature painters" list about this one someday!
