In the self-portrait illustration of Zara, the lines drawn in brush pen, light shadow in ink wash and coloured digitally in pale ochre; the colour of sand. The face is in three-quarter profile, filling two thirds of the frame. Her hair is long, exposing her ear. With chin raised, she looks down, directly at the viewer. Her eyebrows up in the middle, her expression is one of concern.

Zara Slattery

The cartoon-style illustration shows a self-portrait illustration of Uğur smiling. He has a big oval head in the middle. His skin is soft pink, and he has a big red eye. Just above the eye is a dark blue coloured curved eyebrow. The character's hair is short and has a modern cut. His hair is grey with different shades and textures. There is a half-oval-shaped body just below the head. The same texture is used for the body as for the hair. The character has a red piercing in his ear. The background of the work is dark blue. Light blue lines facing in different directions form a pattern at the very back.

Uğur Altun

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.
