We often see archery scenes in anime – either in fantasy action battle scenes, or in school scenes where the “poised, rich high school girl practicing archery” is a rather common trope. Kyudo is in fact a very popular school club activity in Japan, with an estimated 130,000 people practicing the art.

Japanese archery has a long history of over 1000 years, and is a very tricky art to learn – shooting accurately demands a particular, correct posture. So if we are to incorporate Japanese archery and bows into our work, it is important to learn all about these traditional aspects, including the special equipment, the posture and movement. This way we can be sure our work looks authentic.

So today we’re going to study a variety of poses that will help you learn how to draw kyudo scenes accurately!
