A self-portrait of Beyza drawn in cartoon style. The image shows her shoulder-length blonde hair with bangs drawn like spaghetti. She has a warm, light skin tone and red cheeks. Her big round eyes and smile are shown on her face. She is wearing a pair of purple earrings and a necklace with a pink stone on it. Behind her hair are turquoise and purple flowers, one on the upper right and the other on the lower left. The background is a plain, cool-toned white.

Beyza Durmuş

A digital self-portrait illustration of Gizem. The mood of the image is dreamy and playful. There is a woman with dark brown, wavy hair smiling slightly. Her skin colour is vibrant orange-pink, painted flatly. Her hair is dark blue to turquoise with a spray brush texture. Her big, puffy hair dominates the illustration. From her hair, black abstract wavy shapes are coming out and creating a messy pattern for the surroundings. She has relatively slit eyes and a crooked nose. Her face looks towards the audience while her right shoulder is more visible. There is an empty white space below her shoulders, again patterned by the black wavy shapes that come from her hair, but this time, they look like water waves.

Gizem Güvendağ

Seo Hye's self-portrait illustration depicts her head and shoulders with her upper body painted in a watercolour texture in black ink, creating a stark contrast against the white background. The illustration is drawn by hand with textured pencil and watercolour painting. Seo Hye's hair falls just above her shoulder, and she has a distinctive dot on her right eye next to her eyebrow. Her facial expression is contemplative, with her lips closed; she is looking straight ahead at the viewer.
