Seo Hye's self-portrait illustration depicts her head and shoulders with her upper body painted in a watercolour texture in black ink, creating a stark contrast against the white background. The illustration is drawn by hand with textured pencil and watercolour painting. Seo Hye's hair falls just above her shoulder, and she has a distinctive dot on her right eye next to her eyebrow. Her facial expression is contemplative, with her lips closed; she is looking straight ahead at the viewer.

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.
