Thank you! I started with a paper sketch but the rest is mostly round brush.

oh wow, cool. i appriceate seeing digital artists do good things with the normal round. everyone is so focused on fancy brushes now a days that i never see anyone do something good with just the normal round. i think it teaches beginners that you don't need all those fancy brushes to do good work and I admire that

Thank you! Yes, the round brush is a very versatile one. Its may not be the easiest to learn but offers a solid foundation for the rest of the brushes.

You don't need to practice you already hit max level, your "art" stat cant get any higher, you've become the master, the arch-artist, the pope or paintbrushes, the sorceror of shading, the Caesar of Colors and the King of Characters.

wrong eye open. Arrow at wrong side of the bow.
There are mainly two ways to shoot right. One is the mediteranian grip. Three fingers pulling the string to the corner of the mouth and the Arrow at the closed side of the bow. Side of the shoulder. The other one is the thumb grip. That one is at the open side. mostly drawn to the shoulder. Light bows can be drawn to the face to aim. Heavy bows can't be drawn to the face. They are normaly drawn to the shoulder.
But i like the peace of art.

Thanks a lot! I will be researching the subject further. It's very interesting.

Great character! One suggestion though, if you intend your character to be an experienced archer, they would not close one eye. That removes depth perception and would probably ensure they'd miss the target. (I know, I am a certified archery instructor with many years of teaching experience

Not strictly true. While two eyes open is generally the "right" way of doing it (you'll see all Olympic archers both eyes open), they won't miss the target one eye closed. There is an issue of eye dominance too, if one eye is dominant, and it's the eye that is not in line with your hand dominance (left or right handed) you should either shoot one eye closed to remove the dominant eye from the equation, or you have to learn to shoot with your hands swapped. One eye closed is quite commonly taught to beginners in clubs and archery ranges in the modern age, and people are getting some of the best scores in the world one eye closed. My problem is that the wrong eye is open and the wrong eye is closed. The eye you hold the string to is the one that should be open. Regardless, I love this piece! Don't let me get you down with oh this is reality speech. It's a wonderful piece, and artistic license means that nothing is detracted from the art just because of what was previously mentioned. Your art is stunning and I'm always happy too see your next piece come out. ^^

Thanks a lot for the usefull info and for the support! I never watched an Olympic archery competition and now I'm very curious about it!

That's useful information for future reference!

Oh, I didn't realise that. Very good thing to know. Actually, I had the knowledge about 2 eyes being necesary for 3d perception but it didn't cross my mind while i was drawing. Darn autopilot. Thank you very much!

Another technicality:
The bow "looks" cool but heavy. The more weight you have, especially towards the tips, the slower the limbs will move when the string is released. So, the arrow moves more slowly too. Of course, there might be materials and technologies involved, that I'm not familiar with.
Oops... the string doesn't look quite right. The arrow isn't nocked on it, and the character isn't actually holding the string with her fingers.
