Q&A for How to Draw a Bow and Arrow

To make almost anything look 3D, you will need to use shading. Shade around the left and right edges along the bow to make it look curved. You can find a video on how to use shading if you have the time, it could prove very useful in the long run.

Practice. Drawing takes a lot of practice and time. Analyze a real bow and arrow; have them in front of you when you draw them. Really look at the way the light hits them.

Use red to make it look realistic and use orange too. Outline it with black if you want to go all out.

What exactly do you mean by that? If you're talking about why is the arrow facing out whenever it's aimed, that's because it's how you shoot a bow and arrow. And if you asking why is it facing upward in the tutorial, then I think that's just how it was drawn. You can draw it any way you want to if you know how to keep it's design.
