Arrow-bow positioning for artists

[Reives]

Happy Valentine's Day folks. Instead of doing another pixel scene, I made a video for artists drawing cupids and co. this year instead, about which side of the bow the arrow goes on:

Happy Valentine's Day -- Arrow positioning explanation for artists

This is for the Mediterranean (used almost exclusively in Medieval Europe) draw. Thumb draws and etc. tend to be different (I think for those, it's the opposite side for similar reasons).

Cool, now I can learn to shoot like Reivier I may never get a bow and arrow but this can help me in the future to make more realistic animations.

I love your authentic Canadian armor in this, too! So soft! Great video, man.

Halfway through I forgot this was a Valentines Video. 

I love how the video description says. "Pewpewpew"!

Tilting so that the arrow rests in both bow and hand helps aiming.

Happy hearts day - that's a nice cabin!

Interesting, now whenever I see a video game or animation with bows and arrows I know if they are doing it right, and if not, I have one more reason to judge them.

[Double A]

Very interesting! Cool video dude!

I've been thinking about that a lot when I was little.

And It's pretty much explain about this video :

I think that someone should start making a series of archery lessons on YouTube (hint hint)

So, on Valentine's Day, a video is posted...screen opens up on a man...in a robe...who then goes on to explain the science of shooting a bow...................IT'S NOT WEIRD, YOU'RE WEIRD!
