Preparation for Cosplay

Above all, your suit should be safe, not only for you but also for the rest of the people, and must be made according to the rules of the convention to the law. These costumes usually include things like covers for the body, skates, guns, metal artifacts, size of artifacts (usually <1m in total), fire and other risks of flammability, diamond or other slippery, chemical and wings articles, among others things. Have comfortable shoes is a blessing and have sore feet and blisters can ruin your mood easily.

I find quite useful to separate the character's appearance by party only to know what materials I need and what work I have to do. Seeking reference images for the character, and from as many angles as possible, and make a list of every little piece suit from head to toe - from the curly synthetic wig, even the color of the laces and buttons.

Two of the biggest challenges are the time limit (for example, dates convention), and make cosplay with a limited budget. Maintain lists per item and compare your anticipated costs and actual can be quite useful. Reusing costumes and make costumes that can use the same fabric items, wigs, etc., can help keep costs down. You do not feel obligated to have to do more than one suit per day / week / year.

Continually debate about using purchased suits or suits made, but ultimately this is only an important factor for competition (where it is expected that the contestants make hand as many costume and even documenting the process), or when someone takes credit for work that is not even yours (for example, say they did a hull that was made by another cosplayer). Costumes and cosplay purchased can only be good ways to start making cosplay at your own pace, if you feel so overwhelmed. All props from somewhere, and I found that break the costumes in parts is quite useful to learn how they were made. You do not have to be the best cosplayer the world on day one, we all learn new skills over time, that's what it means to be an artist and a craftsman, and no one is perfect. Even Yaya Han is still learning new techniques! When it comes to developing these skills, online tutorials can be useful, but sometimes are not carried out safely. Many haberdashery offer workshops for all skill levels and even community classes for things like sculpture and painting that can be very useful - often these are free.

There are many ways in which I could bring to life a character, as different choices of materials, red black cosplay wigs, contact lenses, etc., each of which will be separate articles.
