If you want to learn how to draw Sousuke Aizen during his time as the leader of the Arrancar Army in Bleach, this guide covers everything from the Zanpakuto placement to the flow of the coat. This version of Aizen comes from the Hueco Mundo arc. Compared to his former captain look, this one includes more detailed folds and extra layering, so it’s moderately complex.
Key Details of This Aizen Design
- Slicked-back hair with a single loose strand falling over his face
- No glasses, sharper facial expression
- Long Arrancar-style overcoat with a standing collar
- White outer robe and undertunic
- Wide hakama-like pants with simple folds
- Zanpakuto strapped across the waist
- Feet in traditional-looking sandals
If you’re interested in drawing more Bleach characters, you could also try sketching Arrancars like Coyote Starrk (the Primera Espada) and Szayelaporro (the 8th Espada), or other related characters: Kisuke Urahara, Shinji Hirako and Ichigo.
