Getting started with cosplay can be extremely daunting (trust me, I know), and it might sometimes feel impossible to know where to begin. But cosplay doesn't need to be an overwhelming experience, whether you're buying a costume online or making it yourself from scratch. Now that I've been learning how to 3D print cosplay props, I might finally take another shot at cosplay after dabbling in it for several years.
But what is cosplay? It's difficult to define. Some people might describe cosplay (dressing up as a character) as a creative hobby, but in a lot of ways, it's an art. Technically, the word cosplay is derived from a blend of the words 'costume' and 'play', with somewhat juvenile connotations.
