Hello there! I love your line work, very clean. I'm curious if you used references for posing with the bow?

Howdy, thank you! Yes, I did use references, this one archery guy on TikTok, and a few anime screenshots(can’t recall what anime).

    The character's form in the top drawing is pretty good! That nice straight line across the shoulders from drawstring to bow is nearly perfect.
    In the second, it looks like the bow is being held almost perpendicular. As it's still being held upright, this form would have the character pulling the bowstring right into their body. To prevent that. they would either need to tilt the bow and shoot horizontal, or angle the bow in such a way that would drastically decrease the character's accuracy.
    To fix this form, we'd simply see more of his back, as the bow and shoulders would be parallel.
    Anyway, that's about it, sorry if it was a bit long haha. I shoot in my spare time and love seeing good form in media. I hope this doesn't discourage you, your work is lovely Yes
