COSPLAY FOR BEGINNERS *PART I*

Hi minna! Joining a cosplay event is an accomplishment for some otakus.This means they became the embodiment of their favorite characters from a particular anime series.But the main questions for some coser-wannabies are:"HOW IS IT TO COSPLAY?", "WHAT COSTUME WILL TAKE LESS PREPARATION?","WHAT COSTUME WILL COST LESS?"

"HOW IS IT TO COSPLAY?"

For beginners,they have to choose a character that as possible has the same personality with them(so taht it will be effortless for them to portray that character).And....know 3-5 poses that your chosen character does.Another thing is,bring props that your chosen character always bring(such as stuffed toys/dolls,a weapon,his/her favorite food).

[!]KAMEKO> means photographers in a cosplay event.Don't be shy to pose for them.If you don't like the pose they want you to do,don't be afraid to refuse and recommend them other poses instead.
[!]MAKE-UP> don't over whiten your face if your natural skin color isn't light at all.The tendency is your face won't match your neck,arms,back,and legs. Do a trick:If you insist whitening you face, try a long sleeved lolita matched with knee socks(for girls) and try a long sleeved top and pants(for boys).

OTHER IMPORTANT NOTES:

Try to make friends in that event.Cosplay also means "gathering of anime enthusiasts","gathering of gamers", and "gathering of manga readers".If you met one of them,try to converse with them and share whatever knowledge you have in the topic they're talking about.Don't be a WALLFLOWER!(except if that's the most highlighted attitude of your chosen character).

BE CONFIDENT.Bring your costume well andeven if you chose a simple costume,wear it proud.Look around you for some ideas on how to improve your cosplaying.If you want to ask pro's don't be afraid to do so.

THAT'S ALL PLEASE DO READ THE PART II!

Wow thanks for this. very interesting

i want to be a cosplayer :Cat Emote22:

Yes to this! Cosplaying should be about you doing what you love and portraying your character and not just for the popularity! I have met a lot of cosplayers like that. If you ask them about the character they are portraying, they won't give you a straight up answer, they'd just tell you because it's cute and stuff. Just my opinion~ :)

I want to be a cosplayer........but i don't have the budget

and don't mind how much it costs.. Cosplay takes time. You don't have to rush it. Save money so you can buy all the material needed for the cosplay. ^___^

Hmm. Interested na tuloy ako sa cosplaying stuffs XD

This is really helpful thanks~
Cosplaying is just a dream to me for now..
Making costumes together with a group would be fun to do though...

One of the problems of those who haven't cosplayed before is that they don't know where to start on the costume that they like. It's either they can't make one, they don't know how to or can't buy premade ones ..


Anyways ~ This is very encouraging keep up the posts .relax
