Challenging Myself To Grow As An Artist

in #life8 years ago (edited)

Most of you probably don't know, given that it is only my second blog post, but I'm actually a cosplayer.

I have what they call a "baby face" so it is quite easy for me to portray cute female characters.

To push myself beyond my limits, I chose the complete opposite of what I would normally go for. I dressed up as a man!

I am ashamed to say this but if you happen to know the character I am trying to portray, please leave a comment. He is my favorite actor.

Time to go outside to say hello to my neighbors.

I did my best to stay in character but it was difficult with everyone laughing while taking my photos.

Since this is only a test, I just used everyday clothes, lots of belts and an eyeliner-mustache.

They said I looked like an asian version of "him" so I tried to widen my eyes.

I learned a lot. Exploring and doing new things encourages improvement. Plus despite the cringe results, my whole day was filled with laughter for me and my friends.

People say that you should cosplay characters that best fits your body and facial features. At the end of the day, it is your hobby, your time and your money. Live your life with no regrets!

You are very beautiful, not so much as a man though. Lol

I tried! Haha.

Hahaha nice asian version!

This is an interesting idea. I've considered crossplaying once or twice but only as characters that have feminine features. I don't think I would be able to do the makeup properly!

I haven't done it in a convention before, and I think that is my goal someday. I feel like I lacked makeup here too!

You just need some practice. I think it was good for your first attempt!
