Hi BL, welcome to Arts & Crafts! Slanted how? Can you give an example of what you're trying to draw? Are they perspective lines, or just anything that deviates from straight angles?

Hi! Hmm, just basic sketches of faces now. I think it has a lot to do with my positioning and the way I hold the paper. I end up viewing the drawing from a skewed POV so everything is slanted. I try to remind myself and shift the paper back every now and then, but it's hard haha. This even affects my perspective lines, so when I try and draw around the guidelines everything is slanted too. Dunno if that makes sense.

So you mean the overall structure of your drawing gets slanted, as in distorted?

Yea, cause when I'm viewing it from the side it looks fine, but when I adjust the angle it looks slightly off.

Can you upload an example of one of your works? I think that would make it a lot easier to help you out.

"I think it has a lot to do with my positioning and the way I hold the paper. "    Sounds like you answered your own question.
