A black and white self-portrait of the artist Akile Nazlı, drawn with pencil. Nazlı is in the centre of the illustration. She has big dark colored curly hair, in big circular shapes around her head. Her eyes are looking at the right side of the picture, making her look as if she is thinking about something. Her face is neutral and a little bit sad. She wears a sweater with a crew neck.

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.

In this digital self-portrait, Laura's stylised head is illustrated with black ink against a flat baby-pink background. A girl tilts her head playfully but is shy, sticking out a tiny tongue and featuring big manga eyes with sparkles. Three lines on her cheek represent a slight blush. Big squared glasses frame her eyes, filling half of her face. She has a tiny pointy line as a nose and big ears adorned with an earring. A headscarf adorned with hair clips is pinned behind her shiny black inked hair, which includes a side fringe curled at the end.
