I think if you want to achieve a high degree of restoration, the first part has to start with character selection. You can't let a 1.8-meter strong man go to cosplay Conan. Matching your own temperament and figure with the role is a prerequisite.
Then to understand the character you're going to play, you have to at least look at the character in the original. Don't think that the kind of cosplayer who wears clothes and stands to take pictures of people doesn't need to know the role. If you play the role of Ayanori, who smiles more brightly than flowers, then it looks unprofessional.
Next, we need to prepare some hardware. Naruto Wig, cosplay suits, and large props are the decisive factors. If you want to restore it, you must be willing to spend money to buy better ones. If you don’t have money, there are too many restrictions on cosplay.
The first is hair. It is best to use your own hair, but in most cases, you will use wigs. The wigs bought by a certain treasure for more than 20 can't be used at all. It looks unnatural. After several times of entanglement, it can't be combed out.
Cosplay clothing is best to spend a little money to customize, although the quality of buying second-hand is good, it is very embarrassing if it does not fit. The props are generally made by the masters in the community. The shape and coating are the main factors related to the restoration of the props. The main materials are generally Eva or PVC, which are light and reliable, and acrylic is generally used for coloring. These large items are ready, and you can appropriately prepare some small items that increase the degree of restoration, such as Qiongmei's dolls.
Then when it comes to the official cosplay, the key lies in makeup and photography. If you want to pursue perfection, post-editing is also essential.
