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, a game that they are following and much more. But the main questions for some first time Cosplayer are: "How easy is it to Cosplay?", "What costume will take less preparation time?","What costume will cost less?" For now, Let us answer "How easy is it to Cosplay?"
"HOW EASY IS IT TO COSPLAY?"
OTHER IMPORTANT NOTES:
"HOW EASY IS IT TO COSPLAY?"
- For beginners,they have to choose a character that as possible has the same personality with them(so THAT it will be effortless for them to portray that character).
- 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).
OTHER IMPORTANT NOTES:
- Try to make friends in that event. Cosplay also means "gathering of anime enthusiasts","gathering of gamer", 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 and even 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.
- 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).
Though, honestly I haven't had a Cosplay experience yet, this is my friends' advice when I am starting and until now have been kept in my mind. Well, good luck with your new hobby and venture! :D
