Hello everyone, today I’m here with another guide on how to draw the face of Rukia Kuchiki, a beloved character from the Bleach series. This tutorial is designed to help artists of all skill levels capture her unique features accurately.
Rukia’s Appearance
Rukia Kuchiki is known for her light skin, purple eyes, and black hair with strands hanging between her eyes. Pay attention to these defining features.
Her hair evolved over the series, ranging from a short bob to a longer style. The attached drawing shows her with a bob haircut.
Rukia often wears a standard shihakushō, which is a common Shinigami attire, but for this drawing, focus on her facial features.
This tutorial is structured as a series of images, each representing a step in the drawing process. By following these steps sequentially, you’ll gradually bring Rukia’s face to life.
Red Color: Indicates the current step to focus on.
Black Color: Shows the lines drawn in previous steps.
Grey Color: Represents the basic sketch.
The guide consists of 9 steps, starting with a basic sketch. In the final stage, you have the option to ink the sketch. After the ink dries, gently erase the pencil marks for a clean, professional look.
Step 01 – Start by sketching a straight vertical line to establish the base of the face and upper body. Then, draw two lines from the middle of that line to represent the shoulders. This forms the basic structure for Rukia Kuchiki’s shoulders
