In the self-portrait illustration of the artist İpek, a girl with long, orange hair captures our picture using a blue camera. With one hand, she presses the shutter button, while the other adjusts the lens. Her hands are a light, pale orange, and she wears a blue-green sweater. In the background, there is a softly textured sky in a light pinkish hue. The wind tousles her hair in both directions and atop her head, an orange snail gazes to the right. Five blue birds ascend on the right side in the snail's line of gaze. Just below them, a single dandelion flower tilts to the right in the air. The stem of the dandelion is blue, with a spherical flower, and pale pink seeds extend from thin blue stems at its center. A brown rabbit sits with its back turned, on the girl's hair flowing to the left. To the right of the rabbit, two blue, soft-textured clouds hover in the light pink sky.

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.

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.
