My preference is an angle, like an easel almost straight up. I draw fairly big so I want to be able to square myself with whatever I'm working on. For smaller things I use a tabletop easel that holds up to 18x24in.

It doesn't have to be "perfect" -- I'm usually moving my art all around and sticking it on walls just to see my progress lol. Use your phone and kind of line up the camera to where the piece looks relatively square on the screen; that's kind of where you'd ideally want your eye.
