Your slant isn't nearly as much as it used to be. As long as you draw with your paper perpendicular to your line of view, you should be fine. Here's an illustration, for fun and demonstration.
What I usually do is use a 9x12 illustration board as a hard surface so I don't need to deal with the paper folding. They're stiff boards like this, used for illustrations & drawings
In terms of your proportions, your proportions aren't really bad. There's just one thing you are doing that is messing things up. Basically, you need to get your shoulder to head/face ratio better. Your proportions tend to be better when you're doing a side view of the figure, because this ratio isn't used in that case.
In other words, the proportions for your bodies are pretty alright, but it's that your head sizes aren't accurate. Of course, your proportions could be better elsewhere, but that applies to mostly everyone. I'll show you what I mean.
In general, a 1:3 ratio between head/face width:shoulders is ideal. We're talking about the body, not clothes here. Clothes can increase this ratio, so don't be fooled by this.
By fixing your shoulder:head proportions, a lot of your body:head proportions are automatically fixed.
Here's the rest of my critique/advice/redlining.
Keep up the good work. I believe if you take this advice, you won't lose your style or anything, so by any chance that you are afraid of that, don't worry about it. You are already every once in a while falling upon the same guidelines I'm speaking of.
P.S. I thought I almost lost the post while making it, thank god I didn't.
