Master these strategies to dominate your drawing duels!
Start with the Outline
Don't perfect details first—sketch the basic shape quickly, then add details if time permits.
Focus on Recognition
AI judges how recognizable your drawing is. Make key features clear and distinct.
Add Unique Details
Small creative touches (expressions, backgrounds) can boost your creativity score.
Practice Common Prompts
Animals, objects, and emotions are common. Practice drawing cats, houses, and happy faces!

Larger drawings are easier for AI to evaluate. Don't draw tiny in a corner!
