"What if I can't draw?"
We hear that a lot, so you're not the only one! The good news is you don't need to be an amazing artist to use fashion drawing as a useful & fun design tool. Start with our beginner class: "Paper Dolls for Grownups." You'll be drawing outfits for your MyBodyModel paper doll in no time!
