For this tutorial, I focused on how to draw Ichigo after Dangai training – his appearance just before using the Final Getsuga Tensho. It’s the version where his hair’s longer, his robes are shredded, and his hand is wrapped with a chain. This version is from the final act of the Fake Karakura Town arc in Bleach anime and has a total of 21 steps. The drawing itself is moderately complex, mostly because of the detailed outfit and small details, but manageable with careful pacing.
Key Features of Post-Dangai Ichigo’s Design
- Medium-long spiky hair falling around the neck
- Shihakusho (robe) appears torn and worn, especially at the sleeves and hem
- Chain wrapped along the right arm
- Large flowing Zanpakuto
- Barefoot stance
- Facial expression is serious and calm
If you’re interested in more Bleach drawing tutorials, I’d also recommend drawing characters like Aizen, Rukia with Sode no Shirayuki, or Nelliel in normal form.
