Most Likely to Have Bad Hair: Drawsomely Bad

While I am still an avid Words With Friends enthusiast, I've let most of those other games fall by the wayside. Hanging with Friends was sort of boring (translation: I was really bad at it and was sick of losing) and Scramble gave me panic attacks (I don't like timed games.. my palms would sweat. No seriously, I would open the app and would dread seeing that it was my turn to scramble. Then I remembered that I did this by choice. App deleted).

When Draw Something came out, though, I was instantly hooked. I was on a shoot for work, and as the evening was coming to an end, a few of my co-workers and I decided to pass the time by downloading this Draw Something app that everyone was talking about. ZOMG. Insta-fun. This was the night I would discover that apparently I think Eskimos look like characters from South Park. #ShelteredLife #Iowa

As my range of colors and drawing skills expanded, so did my number of games. Over one fateful brunch, I was telling Kelly McKenna about this new obsession. She downloaded it immediately and ever since then, Kelly has been, hands down, my favorite competitor on Draw Something. I work for a design/visual effects studio so my friends from work tend to be on the artistic side. Here are a couple of drawings from my co-worker, Fionna:

No big deal.

Skillz

We can't all have Fionna's artistic talents. Though I must say, I excel when I draw what I know:

Percy's.. my ultimate muse.

Enough of tooting my own horn, though. Back to the artist formerly known as omgpop81714284. Kelly's drawings are simply amazing. I only started saving screenshots recently because it took awhile to realize this would make a good blog post. I have uploaded these in chronological order so you can experience them the way I did. So, Kelly, as a faithful follower of Most Likely to Have Bad Hair, I dedicate this post to you (and your creative process):

RAINCOAT

As you can see, after 64 turns, Kelly still does not care to buy new colors even though she must have at least 249 coins in her Draw Something bank by now. Minimalist. Respect. As you will see, that is a common theme in her art. I also enjoy how after 64 turns, she still refuses to switch to any other brush weight. There are 4 different brush weights you can use but the fact that Kelly always uses weight #2, always makes these drawings look like finger paint art. Again, Kelly.. I am not making fun of you. I love this (and you) so much. Please remember this as I proceed to caption these comical Somethings you have Drawn.

HARRY

I haven't read Harry Potter in years so I had totally forgotten that his wand was 4x as long as his T-Rex arms... and that he was distantly related to Mr. Bill.

PINATA

This is the first time I have ever seen a hairy pinata. I hope it won't be the last.

STROLLER

I appreciate a few things about this drawing. 1) Kelly gave the pregnant mom a short "mom haircut." #Practical 2) The "stroller" in question looks like a blue Pac Man with a tongue. 3) The Pregnant Mom is walking on ground level but pushing the Stroller on some sort of elevated surface that starts about mid-calf. Where is she taking that baby?

WHITE

Here's what I see here.. "Snow White Minus Plus MINUS"

ARMPIT

That is some gnarly armpit hair.

TWIST

When I managed to decipher that the above drawing was a towel and then two hands twisting a towel, I knew Kelly and I were BFFs.. for realz.

SIXPACK

Before she wrote "Bud," I thought the picture on the left was a case of hot sauce bottles. I really like to think of Kelly McKenna saying/thinking/drinking "BUD." Preferably on a rickety porch with a piece of straw in her mouth and a shotgun at her side.

SCOTLAND

So glad you drew bagpipes. This one was a winner.

SCARLETT

After 94 turns, this is where our streak met its bitter end.

In my defense, "Scarlett" with 2 t's, as Draw Something offers it, refers to Scarlett O'Hara from Gone With the Wind. The Scarlet Letter (which is what I'm assuming Kelly was going for), spells "scarlet" with 1 t. Also, Hester Prynne had to wear a scarlet "A" to indicate the sin of adultery, not an "L." Come on, McKenna. ENCARTA IT.
