  • Kubo is god-like when it comes to designing characters man. Can't really think of too many mangaka better than him when it comes to that.

Like soul reaper's shihakusho from traditional Japan . Ishida's almost like a priest , and quincy basically style as soldier overall.

    Kubo's also got one hell of a brilliant sense of *Composition:* using perspective, lighting & colour in truly genius ways to show the inner selves of the characters. Just take a closer look at Ichigo's typical side-eye in the image above. (You could teach an entire Art Class from just this image..!)
    Itchigo's side-eye look is both arrogant & a little contemptuous (after all, not putting your complete attention on your opponent during a potential fight is pretty risky - especially if you don't have their measure), but at the same time, he's not particularly belligerent (like Kenpachi), either. Don't attack him, anyone under his protection - or (especially) threaten his friends & he'll generally be ok with letting you go...
    His face is (quite literally) half in shadow & half in the light, making him capable of both - but his eye is on the line...
    He's still got his youthful, shaggy, punky, hair [⊛] (implying that he's not a rigid follower of the rules), while the fitted uniform & formal stance, emphasises he's still capable of discipline when he wants to be...
    All of this is done in a single throw-away panel, with minimal background or dialog to interfere.
    [ Incidentally, Kubo also hides Easter-Eggs for other artists in his art, by referencing extremely famous & influencial artworks by old European Masters, 1960s Modern Artists Disney & (of course) other famous Mangaka. ]
    ⊛ Also check out how Kubo uses hairstyles alone to show personality in his characters. How many charachers could you instantly recognise in silhouette?
