In this guide, I’ll show how to draw Ichigo Kurosaki as he appears in the Thousand Year Blood War arc, with his zanpakuto sheathed and worn on his back. I’ll provide clear and helpful details to get each part of his appearance correct and easy to follow.
Essential Points of Ichigo’s TYBW Look
- Messy, short spiky hair.
- Serious facial expression.
- Traditional shinigami kimono, loose-fitting sleeves.
- Wide obi belt tied at the waist.
- Zanpakuto sheathed and attached diagonally across the back with wrapped hilt clearly visible.
- Baggy hakama pants with clear, simple folds.
- Open-toed sandals.
- Clearly visible wrists and hands with fists.
If you’re looking for more Bleach drawings, consider drawing Rukia’s Bankai Hakka no Togame, Ichigo’s Vasto Lorde Form, or even Kenpachi Zaraki and his Shikai Zanpakuto next.
