If you wish to play Draw Something like an expert artisit, here are 10 pointers that will make your art look much nicer!
1) Find a Stable Place
To make your best art, you'd want your device placed on a surface that's not constantly moving - like a table or on your lap - this will allow you to draw much better pictures - imagine having to draw on a piece of paper that's held in your hands, it just doesn't work! My favourite way of drawing, if there are no tables around or places that I can sit, would be to have my tablet device rested on my forearms and close to my body - sort of like how a teacher hands out papers.
2) Buy Colors, not Bombs
You should not spend your hard earned coins on bombs, they do little to help you improve your game. What you should consider instead would be a big palette of colors, having more than the 4 default colors makes it easier for you to depict your illustrations. If you downloaded the paid version of Draw Somthing, the game gives you enough coins to buy one new set of colors.
3) Plan Ahead
If you took a little time to visualise how you want to draw the word before you start making your strokes, you'd be able to draw it much more quickly. Not having an idea of how to draw the word after you've made your selection will result in a lot of erasing and trashing of drawings. So before you select the word, spend a few seconds to think about how you'll be able to tackle the word and depict it through your drawing.
4) Draw the Most Distinctive Features
Often a times, people will recognize an item by a number of it's distinctive features - for example, a turtle by its shell, Lil Wayne by his baseball cap, dreadlocks and body tattoo - this is great news for players who might not be artistically inclined, focus on the several key features of your subject and do your best, through simple shapes and colors, to put them across to your friend who's doing the guessing.
5) Have Fun
This might be the most important tip of all, and it would be to have a good time with the app. Some of the best fun had with the app are times when I wasn't taking everything so seriously and just goofing off with my friends on Draw Something. Remember that this is a social game that's meant to entertain, it's not a competitive game about raking up the highest scores and the most experience, if you played Draw Something in that way, you've lost the spirit of the game!
