In this article, we’ll learn how to draw Ichigo Kurosaki with his Bankai, Tensa Zangetsu, from Bleach Rebirth of Souls. This iconic form features Ichigo at his full Shinigami potential, equipped with his sleek black katana. Let’s get straight to the important aspects.
Ichigo’s Bankai Appearance Highlights
- Short, messy spiked hair.
- Long black Shinigami robe with torn edges.
- Bankai sword (Tensa Zangetsu), slim and sleek.
- Focused and intense facial expression.
- Footwear: traditional sandals.
If you’re interested in drawing other Bleach characters afterward, consider trying Rukia Kuchiki with her Bankai Hakka no Togame, Ichigo’s Vasto Lorde Form, or even Kenpachi Zaraki with his imposing presence.
