A digitally created self-portrait illustration of the artist Sophie Kamlish, using block colours and solid lines. Sophie, a white woman with a brown bob and glasses, wears a long-sleeved orange top, teal trousers and pale blue and yellow striped socks. Her right foot is missing, and she uses her knee to balance a light blue drawing book and yellow pencil. She is smiling and looking down at the drawing book. The background is black, which contrasts against all the colourful objects, animals, patterns and symbols filling it up.

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.
