Cosplayers wishing to take their skills to the next level will want Graphic-Sha's How to Cosplay series. The first volume, Cos Note 1, focuses on make-up, how to apply it, and how to evoke scars, wounds, and even tattoos. Each page of this volume is filled with full-color photographs of cosplayers applying make-up, eye liner and eye shadow, lashes, and more. In addition, the book features a color photograph section of cosplayers in their costumes taken at the World Cosplay Summit 2008 in Japan. This book will give cosplayers ideas on how to improve their costumes, ideas for new costumes, and invaluable tips for creating realistic make-up applications to bring their favorite characters to life.
