lol @zedshaw told me to draw some stuff and everything comes out massively tilted, what happenpic.twitter.com/mppS5QA9kq
That's because you aren't used to drawing on a paper straight up. Usually you tilt it to match your hand. Are you right or left handed? Put the paper on the same side as your hand you write with. Then, put the object on the other side, and behind it more. Then:

lol uhh i didn’t hold the paper straight up, i had the stuff elevated and the paper flat on the table. derp! i’ll try that next time and right-handed

Ahhhhhh, then you actually kind of did it in perspective, but reversed. Think about it. If the object is straight up, but your paper is slanted back, then it'll be warped. In fact, this was a trick to make a drawing that looked like nothing until you were at an angle in room.

Try holding the pen overhanded, like a conductor's wand or a knife and do your initial little sketch using your shoulder more than hand. Once you have a basic idea of the shape, then refine it however you want. Otherwise good start.

One more thing: Everyone is used to writing, and they learned as a kid so they push with a ton of force and grip like they'll drop the pen. Holding overhand cancels this out, so you can try to hold it more lightly and that should make it straighter. But, it takes practice.
