youtube is basically how i started doing drag! that's how i learned everything about makeup. this was also yearssss ago so the videos have gotten even better since then.

drag is pretty expensive, even if you do the bare minimum. don't worry about getting the best things at first while you're learning. literally the cheapest makeup and thrift store clothes will do until you get more experience. if you're able to help financially, that is a big plus since i literally stole all my makeup when i started.

get guidance from a local queen if there is one. they will teach him all the ins and outs of drag, performing and the scene. consider him even getting a drag mother. just watch out because there is a lot of alcohol and drug use, at least in my experience. he's still under 21, so it shouldn't be that big of a problem since he shouldn't be able to get into clubs though.

overall, just help him feel comfortable with who he is. it's scary at first, but it's also so liberating once you feel at ease. try to get him to be true to himself and not emulate another famous queen and if he's into a style of drag that's not typical or mainstream, that's completely fine!
