Is my body normal?

This is a question that concerns many women on a daily basis. Not surprising either, since a lot of unrealistic images are shown in the media and on the internet. As a result, many women are convinced that their bodies differ from what is normal and beautiful. The naked pencil wants to change that… How you might ask? I would like to tell you more about body portraiture.

Your experience with The naked pencil

Attention to detail

"Portrait of myself really exceeds all my expectations. The portrait hangs in my bedroom and I look at it every day. I feel very beautiful and proud to show my body! I feel very sexy because of the way Elsa draws me. Good friends also recognize my body immediately, which seems expressive. The portrait was delivered as a present! Elsa has a great eye for detail: both reflected in the portrait and the way she packs and sends the portrait. I can't wait for my next portrait!"
