There is a fictional character called Itachi Uchiha.He became one of the most powerful S-Ranked missing-ninjas when he was a child.He killed all of his family.He has little to no expression and is a member of the Akatsuki.If you want to cosplay as him, a set of Akatsuki robes will be a good start, but there are other things you should consider, such as his long, black hair, unique headband, and personality.
Step 1: Start preparing for your costume early.
You still have to take into account the shipping times even if you are buying the cosplay.There is a chance that the cosplay isn't right.You will have to adjust it if that happens.If you want to make or buy the cosplay, you should give yourself at least a month.You will need to give yourself more time if you are going to commission the cosplay.There are a lot of reference pictures ready.
Step 2: Purchase or make a cloak.
You can either buy a set online or have someone make one for you.You can make your own based on a robe pattern.If you want to make your own Akatsuki robes, you should either draft a pattern or modify an existing one to include the tall, wide collar.Use a stiffener inside the collar to help it stand up.It will do if it is thick or craft foam.You can make the designs by painting them on with fabric paint.
Step 3: The mesh shirt can be created by modifying a fitted t-shirt and fishnet shirt.
Cut a V-neck into a dark-colored fitted t-shirt.The V-neck is for a nicer finish.When cosplaying, wear the shirt over the fishnet shirt.You can buy a full Itachi Uchiha cosplay set online.
Step 4: Get some baggy pants.
You can either buy a full Itachi Uchiha cosplay online or make your own.The pants have to be baggy from the waist down.They should be fitted after that.They should be the same color as the t-shirt you modified.It's okay if you can't find pants that are below the calves.
Step 5: The shoe covers can be bought or made.
You can commission them, make them yourself, or find them in an online cosplay supply shop.You will need to use the same material you used for your t-shirt and pants if you choose to make them yourself.Start by cutting off the toes.Take the raw edges and put the shoe covers over the flip flops.The thickness of the sole will be created by the flip flops.If the convention floor is too slippery, you can use a glue gun or Silicone to draw on the underside of the shoe covers.It will give you some traction.
Step 6: Purchase the white open-toed/open-heeled socks.
He wears a set of covers over his shoes.They cover the bottom portion of his pants when they come up to his mid-calves.You can either make your own using white jersey material or buy them from a cosplay supply shop.You can buy a pair of white socks and cut off the heels, as well as the entire front portion.You should hem the edges of the spats.Everything from the arch to the toes is in the front portion.A thick strip under your arch is what you want.These will be worn over the flipflops and shoe covers.
Step 7: Obtain the headband.
Next to the Akatsuki robes is the headband, which is one of the most important parts of cosplay.Itachi Uchia has a particular type of headband.If you can't find his headband online, you could buy Sasuke Uchia's headband and draw a horizontal line across the front using a black marker.
Step 8: Get the ring and necklace.
They will make the cosplay more authentic and detailed.You need to buy Itachi's red/scarlet Shu ring online.You can either buy his necklace on there or make it yourself by tying pieces of black cording to three silver washers.The washes need to be close together.
Step 9: Start with primer and foundation.
Even if you are a guy, this is a must.Even out your skin tone will be helped by primer and foundation.It will help cover up any blemish.Don't try to go lighter or darker with your makeup; match it to your skin tone.Makeup should always be applied to a clean face.It would be better if you applied them first.Feel free to do it if you know how.If you are a girl crossplaying, this can help make your face look more masculine.
Step 10: The eyeshadow needs to be neutral.
Any shade of brown will do just fine.You will have to put eyeshadow in the crease.You can add a neutral shade to the lid and a lighter shade on the brow bone.You want to keep this part of your makeup subtle.
Step 11: Add black eyeliner to your eyes.
This will help you stand out.You want the eyeliner to be thinner on the bottom line.There is a cat eye flick on the outer corner of each eye.Don't add eyeliner to your waterline.There is a diagonal line on the outer corner of your lower lashes.One line per eye is all you need.You can use a glue stick, concealer, and powder to cover up your eyebrows, then draw on Itachi eyebrows using eyebrow pencil.
Step 12: To make the face lines, use dark gray eyeshadow.
To trace a diagonal line from your tear ducts to the outer corners of your nose, use a thin eyeshadow brush and dark gray eyeshadow.Light the lines further away from your eyes and make them darker at the top.Shadows in the corners of your eyes can be used as a guide.
Step 13: Set your makeup with spray or powder.
You will still sweat even if the convention hall is air conditioned.This can cause your makeup to wear off.Setting powder or a light mist of setting spray can help prevent this from happening.It's a good idea to bring powder with you if the convention is warm.
Step 14: If you want to use your own hair, make sure it is the right length and color.
Itachi Uchiha has long, black hair.He wears a low ponytail and his hair is parted down the center.If you don't have long hair, you can wear hair extensions or hide it with a cloak.After you put the wig cap on, you can style it on a Styrofoam wig head or on yourself.If your hair is wavy, use a flat iron.Don't use a wig if you have straight, black hair.Do not use a flat iron if the hair is not straight.
Step 15: If you want a more realistic cosplay, consider getting black or red contacts.
You can either stick with all black contacts or get red ones with black markings.Contacts are not mandatory, and you can still have a great cosplay without them.You should visit an eye doctor if you choose to wear contacts.If your eyes can handle contacts, he or she will tell you.They will teach you how to wear them.At the end of the day, always take your contacts out.Don't leave them in all day.Put them in and take them out with clean hands.The provided solution can be used to clean the contacts.When you don't use the contacts, keep them in their case and discard them.
Step 16: There are some ideas for poses in the animation.
Someone will ask to take your picture if you wear your cosplay.Strike an Itachi-like pose instead of standing there.This will make you look like the character.If you can hold them, fighting stances are great options.If you angle your body towards the camera, you can mimic one of his hand seals.
Step 17: When walking around, try to mimic Itachi's physical quirks.
Itachi does not maintain eye contact with anyone unless he plans on interacting with them.If you really want to impress fellow cosplayers, you could try walking through the convention with purpose and determination, avoiding all eye contact.If you want to talk to someone, try to get their attention by making eye contact.
Step 18: When interacting with others, try to mimic Itachi's personality quirks.
Itachi is quiet and cold.He doesn't show much emotion or talk much.Your voice should be calm and you should keep a straight face.Keep your language smart and polished, this is a nod to the intelligent side of Itachi.Itachi is not confrontational.If another cosplayer tries to initiate a play fight with you, try to avoid it or walk away.).
Step 19: Tone down the bad and focus on the good side of Itachi.
There are a lot of exaggerated characters.That makes them fun to watch.If the character is mean or violent, it can end up being really annoying in real life.It is fine to play off of Itachi's coldness and seriousness, but don't take it too far to hurt others.There is a line between real life and animation.
Step 20: Itachi Uchiha is not appropriate to act like that.
People like to cosplay.At a convention, you will often see characters interacting with each other.This can be a lot of fun.Not everyone will want to play with you.If you try to interact with another character and they don't respond, stop and move on.People should not be forced to interact with you.You should look for body language.Leave someone to look or act uneasy.
Step 21: You can learn martial arts to get more ideas for poses.
They will help give you a better understanding of how to pose as him if you become a black belt in martial arts.There are fighting styles to consider.Martial arts can help you get in shape and relax after a long day.
Step 22: Get into shape.
Everyone can cosplay, regardless of their gender, race, or body type.If you want to look like the character, you should start working out to build some lean muscle.Depending on your starting build and goal, how far in advance you do this is up to you.Don't push yourself.The exact weight, height, and build of Itachi will not be realistic for everyone.You don't need to starve yourself or spend hours at the gym.This is not a good idea.A good way to get into shape is to eat a healthy diet with lots of fruits, vegetables, and lean meat.Walk for a few hours a week.
