The Cosplayer’s Bookshelf Humble Bundle
Looking for some excellent reference texts for your next cosplay build? Check out this comprehensive list of cosplay construction books from Humble Bundle’s Cosplayers Bookshelf!
Cosplay is an amazing art form. It’s inclusive, diverse, and full of so much joy in creation. It doesn’t matter if you’re a professional level artist or just a passionate fan of a videogame or anime, there is a place for you in the cosplay community. This week, we’re diving into an epic trove of research texts- the Cosplayer’s Bookshelf Humble Bundle!
One of the most amazing aspects of the cosplay community is the passion for teaching others the craft. Many of the most prolific cosplayers in the world are also dedicated teachers of the craft. They host youtube channels and Twitch broadcasts showcasing their construction techniques, and show detailed progress photos during their builds. Beyond that, several artists have collected their knowledge into easily accessible reference texts!
With such a wide array of tutorial information out on the market, future cosplayers can learn about armor building, wig crafting, makeup techniques, sewing basics… You name it, and there is a cosplay tutorial book or video on the market for you to learn from! Cosplay greats such as Kamui Cosplay, Kinpatsu Cosplay, Punished Props Academy and others have books out for you to purchase.
