The illustration shows a self-portrait of Akif standing in front of a colourful sky on a cold and pale spring day. Akif is on the left, facing the viewer. He has tan skin, short dark brown hair and a thin dark brown moustache. He is protected from the sunlight by a white, open-topped hat and cool, elliptical-shaped glasses. He is wearing a light pink short-sleeved t-shirt.

A large hairy white man has gritted teeth and hunched shoulders while they furiously doodle a simple self-portrait on a drawing tablet. The scene is drawn with cartoon lines and coloured in various shades of rust. The artist has large glasses, thick wavy hair, and a full beard. They are dressed in a waistcoat with a pocket square, and a button down shirt with the sleeves rolled up. Strong squiggly energy lines emanate from them as they scribble.
