1. Draw details
Help a brother out, people. As many details as you can think of to help your friend place context to your drawing will go a long way. Sure, you can draw a stick figure pretty quickly and be done with it, but a pair of glasses, some wrinkles, an umbrella or whatever makes sense for that round can help your Draw Something companion make sense of the sticks and blots of color.
2. Use arrows, circles, any form of indicator
Following in line with tip # 6, use an arrow, circle or any other indicator to tell your friend exactly what part of the drawing you're referencing. You might have drawn the most elaborate scenery possible just to show me one chair, but I need to know what I'm looking for amongst all the other details. But bravo for following rule # 6!
3. Resist the urge to Google
We've all been there. You're so close you can taste it. Just one little extra detail and you're as good as gold. A quick Google will just put your mind to ease, right? Wrong. It's not the same win unless you can decipher the drawing yourself. Don't cop out.
4. Use a tablet
If you can, I highly suggest using a tablet. The extra screen real estate really lends itself well to drawing with your index finger, which is usually a sloppy process. The roomier screen of an iPad would make it easier to draw more precisely. Bonus: A stylus helps tremendously if you're not too comfortable drawing with your index finger, but it does put you at a huge advantage over your opponent.
5. Don't cheat
This game is called Draw Something not "write out the word in a 2-year old's handwriting." You can't just spell out "soap" and feel victorious when I guess it correctly. It doesn't work that way. Writing a few vague words here and there as support is one thing, but flat out scribbling down the entire concept without so much as an ounce of effort is an insult to the game, your opponent, and yourself. Don't play the game if you feel compelled to cheat. I will delete you, every time.
