You can't!

I'd love to see the luchador art turned into a cartoon on Adult Swim.

Guys, it's okay to be encouraging/friendly on this board, but try to throw in some actual critiques, too.

mooosh, I'd say you just need to work on your fundamentals (anatomy and drapery, especially) and make your linework stronger through lots of drawing.

As far as luchadores go, I really like the look of the characters from the comic Lucha Libre:



This should give you a good idea of where to go. Cool style, good proportions, clothes drape correctly, lines are thin but confident, etc.

would you happen to know of any resources on drapery? I've been aware that I need to work on that for a while, but I haven't found any way to learn it.

This is a good start for clothing folds:

The way you learn to draw anything is by finding pictures of it, and doing studies from them. Or even better, find it in real life and copy it from life. There aren't any secret books or anything.

I really enjoy your flat, iconized style, but I think the shading on the clothing and fur detracts from the otherwise solid-colored characters. Though considering you're Suda 51'ing so hard, you probably already knew that.

It all looks great in the style it is, but.... are you limited to only this style?

[Miguelito]

You could try putting luchador masks on another luchador mask, but other than that I agree in that this style needs no improving.

PS: Are you aware that you'd probably be an incredible book cover artist?

I found a wonderful lighting reference page here that's helpful when trying to solve shadow problems.

Drawing stuff from life is the easiest, though. If you can get in to a drop-in life drawing session somewhere, or just sitting somewhere that there are a lot of people around to draw like a coffee shop, a mall, a library or a park.

Keep it up! I really like the doodly style!
