Don't scrap it! Work thru it. The fact that ithe piece is challenging means you have a great deal to learn from the painting (very exciting).
The first thing I would address is the bow is facing the opposite direction she is going to be shooting in. A bow is always facing the direction you will be firing in when getting ready to shot, the fact that she is drawing a arrow means she is readying the bow for action. You might want to try switching the action of each arm (left hand holding the bow).
The second is her legs. You seem to be stuck on those legs. Legs would only arch back when in a long free fall like skydiving, or the first brief moment you lunge from a position. After the first few, brief moments of falling the legs move out front preparing for a landing. At a minimum have one leg moving forward preparing for impact much like Madzia has done in her sketch.
Keep goin, this will be a great piece.
