This guide focuses on how to draw Rukia Kuchiki in her final look from Bleach: The Thousand-Year Blood War arc. Specifically, the version she appears in after her training with the Royal Guard. This design has more flowing elements and complex robes, so I’d say the complexity is moderate. It’s easier if you follow each layer of the drawing carefully.
Character Breakdown: Rukia’s TYBW Look
- White high-collared robe wrapped around her shoulders
- Hakama-style pleated lower garment
- Sandal-like footwear with ankle ties
- Sode no Shirayuki’s hilt visible and ready, held with one hand
- Facial expression is calm but serious
If you’ve already tried drawing characters like Ichigo (his look from the same arc), this version of Rukia fits in well with it. Her pose is built around balance and fabric motion, so keep an eye on how the clothing curves and flows outward from her stance. You might also try sketching Ichigo’s Vasto Lorde form, or Rukia’s Bankai Hakka no Togame.
