Bleach - Farewell Byakuya Kuchiki -

After reading Bleach chapter 502 the urge to draw Byakuya again hit me hard. I didn't want a picture showing him injured  but instead I wanted something peaceful and calming. No blood, no pain, no swords, not even his uniform. I just wanted something to bring about happy memories rather then the bad.

Drawn completely in regular pencil (on 8.5x11 computer paper) then scanned and darkened. I then added in some color with photoshop under the pencil. Some effects were also added above the pencil.}
