Mountain archress

This woman has no sense of cold, or then she just don't know how to dress properly to different weather conditions. Either way, pretty silly outfit for snowy mountains, in reality it would result in freezing death. But of course this is just a fantasy illustration, made by a boy(ish man), made for boy(ish men). That outfit would be pretty stupid in any other circumstances too... or maybe not in a red lights district.

Mistakes, archery related that is:
  1. Her form is almost perfect, except the stance is pretty unstable looking. Why the bending knee? It's trying to be cool, I get it, but it is not the most optimal. Well, that's not a major problem, so let's move on to next, bigger, one.
  2. The bow doesn't bend enough. It does bend somewhat, but it's not enough. I've drawn a comparison where that bow should bend. And that's the bare minimum. Recurve bows can sometimes bend a lot!
  3. The arrows are in a back quiver, as usual. Do I need to mention again that it's not practical? Possible I do. And the next time and the time after that.
Good:
The form is not very bad at all. There are a nice parallel line from the tip of the arrow all the way back to the drawing hands elbow. As it should be. A point for that.
