In this guide, I’ll walk you through how to draw Ichigo Kurosaki from Bleach with his True Shikai Zangetsu, as seen after his training in the Soul King Palace. This tutorial will help you capture his updated appearance and dual Zanpakutō accurately.
Key Features to Focus On
- Short, spiky orange hair.
- Determined facial expression with sharp eyes.
- Black Shihakushō (Soul Reaper uniform) with white accents.
- Two distinct Zanpakutō:
- A larger, cleaver-like blade representing his offensive capabilities.
- A smaller, knife-like blade symbolizing his defensive aspects.
- Both swords are black with unique designs.
- Confident and ready stance, reflecting his readiness for battle.
After completing this drawing, you might want to try sketching other characters from the Bleach series, such as Retsu, Rukia, Kenpachi Zaraki, or even Ichigo’s Vasto Lorde form.
