How to Draw Ichigo in His Merged Hollow and True Bankai Form

Published on August 11, 2026

Ichigo Kurosaki is back on the page in one of the heaviest looks the Bleach finale handed him. This lesson covers how to draw Ichigo in his merged Hollow and True Bankai form, the version where his mask fragment and dual blades show up together.

Working Through This Loaded Design

The whole thing spans 24 stages and wraps on a colored frame you can use as a shading map later. Early steps stick to rough scaffolding so the stance and proportions hold up well before the robes, sash, and weapons get drawn in.

Details That Make This Form Read

  • Spiky orange hair
  • Hollow mask fragment over one eye
  • Black shihakusho with white sash
  • Red markings on the shoulder and side of the body
  • Two blades
  • White tabi with sandals

This pairs naturally with his earlier True Shikai form if you want both stages side by side, or his dual Zangetsu blades look for a closer take on the weapons. The lieutenant Rangiku Matsumoto is a calmer pick if you want a break from heavy gear.

How to Read the Line Colors

Each frame leans on three colors so the latest additions never blend in:

  • Red Color: lines added in the current step.
  • Black Color: lines completed earlier.
  • Gray Color: base sketch for structure.
