When making a cosplay it is really hard to know where to start.But really you have to know what you're going to need to know to create your masterpiece!My back to basic series will involve all sorts of basic crafting skills you may want to learn and practice and then we will move onto "In-time Intermediates"Which will involve more of the heavier things in detail, this will yes indeed have me practising my own skills and even learning things so I can write about it for you.Why am I not writing about cosplays? because I personally am taking a year out of conventions, I'm doing something else this year which has kept me just as excited and yet I still wanted to contribute to JustCosplay, I felt this the best way to do it and for our readers to still get something out of it all, alongside some spectacular interviews to come.
Here are some of the things I hope to cover this year if you would like me to cover anything at all please put it in the comments below, on our Facebook page or e-mail us at justcosplay@hotmail.com
