An self-portrait illustration of Jhinuk, as a female figure from torso upwards wearing a long-sleeved top, drawing in inky line with white ink on a blue ink-washed background. The female is carrying a brain in her right arm (in the arm facing us on the left), and she is looking downwards toward the floor. Behind her head are some hand-drawn words: 'How do I hold my head up in public now?'.

Jhinuk Sarkar

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 large hairy white man has gritted teeth and hunched shoulders while they furiously doodle a simple self-portrait on a drawing tablet. The scene is drawn with cartoon lines and coloured in various shades of rust. The artist has large glasses, thick wavy hair, and a full beard. They are dressed in a waistcoat with a pocket square, and a button down shirt with the sleeves rolled up. Strong squiggly energy lines emanate from them as they scribble.
