Uryū Ishida switches sides during the Thousand-Year Blood War, and this tutorial covers how to draw Uryū Ishida’s face wearing his Sternritter uniform from Bleach. As the last Quincy chosen by Yhwach as his successor, Uryū trades his usual school attire for the white military coat of the Wandenreich. This portrait captures his cold, calculating expression with his longer hairstyle and narrow rectangular glasses.
Drawing the Last Quincy’s Portrait
This guide breaks down into 20 step-by-step images covering his face, hair, and the upper portion of his Sternritter uniform. The portrait includes his broad epaulettes with the Wandenreich insignia patches, which add complexity to the shoulders. Uryū’s expression here reads as reserved and stern, fitting his role as the apparent enemy of his former allies.
Uryū’s TYBW Design Details
- Dark navy blue hair swept to the side, longer than earlier arcs
- Hair covering part of the side of the face
- Narrow rectangular frameless glasses
- Deep blue-violet eyes with a focused, guarded look
- Thin defined eyebrows
- Sharp angular face with pointed chin
- White Sternritter military coat with high stand-up collar
- Blue Quincy cross emblem on the front of the collar
- Gold diamond-shaped insignia patches on each epaulette
The glasses require precision since they sit at a specific angle across his nose bridge, with no visible frames on the bottom edge. Getting that thin metallic line consistent on both sides of his face matters for the finished portrait. For another character wearing a military-style outfit, the Aizen TYBW face tutorial features the imprisoned former captain in a similar structured collar.
