whenever i draw, everything tends to be sort of tilted? i cant tell if my drawing pad is too big making the viewing angle different than what the actual image is supposed to be or when im drawing, my head is tilted or leaning. i drew my setup for reference. the drawing pad is about 2 times the width of my face btw. I dont know what to do.

Frankly, I don't know what to do. Can you please explain better as to what is your actual problem?
From the drawing, I suppose you sit on the floor. I tried that, when I was injured. I found sitting on a skateboard to be helpful, if you loosen the bearings on it as well, you can get it to tilt a bunch. This gives your pelvis so much freedom while sitting cross legged, I promise it's the comfiest way to sit on the floor/meditation pose. Other than that, I literally don't know how to help you.

Are you ESL? I am. try to formulate your thought more completely. This is my setup btw.

Nta but how do you even draw on such a vertical screen? I can't imagine how it's possible to control line in such conditions (it's already not easy even on moderately angled surface)

I hold it artist grip, but I'm strange, I had three surgeries on my right drawing arm after being hit by a car as a pedestrian. I draw wonky now.
I vary my drawing standing up on the easel, some direct hunched over the display, some screenless tablet mode through Oculus quest streaming as well. It's strangely comfy drawing upright but I know what you are saying, though I will say there's no drag from the glass either, unlike when I lay it flat, my hand will stop midline from friction of the glass.

yeah basically lets say the left is my reference. I'd try drawing it but because of my viewing angle it'll come out looking like the left which isn't a big deal since all I have to do is rotate the drawing and the orientation is ok. but sometimes it can skew the drawing towards the left too much and make what im drawing too wide and disproportionate than what Im going for.

That's very common that the drawing starts to lean to one side. It's easy to fix by mirroring the canvas regularly. If you keep it only one way, your eye and mind don't register the drifting. That's why you need to mirror and see the pic mirrored to spot it.

happens to me every day using both sketchbooks and my digital screen tablet. i could probably figure out the right viewing angle and stop the skewing by using some household props to shift it, like a pillow and a bit of blanket to increase height to taste on the far side, when it’s in my lap, but i’m always too tired after i get back to do this. in any case, you're not alone, op. i’ve been doing this for a really long time, and i never found a fix that felt physically comfortable/natural in implementation enough for me to adopt for the long haul. also i’m a poorfag and don’t have a desk with a telescoping locking arm mount or whatever, lol. my lap is my desk.
