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.

Zara Slattery

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 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.
