The author uses facial expressions to describe the male characters in the paintings who tend to be introverted or sad, and also uses different colors to enrich the characters and highlight the protagonist.
Referring to the style of these paintings, I decided to use the same perspective to express "myself", just like these paintings to express the characters through details, for example, the girl in the picture expresses her extroverted personality with a bright smile.

Changed the way you hold the camera, added nails and strings to make it look more like a photo on a photo frame, and added a photo frame to make it look more like a selfie.
Express my love for blue and cats through the color of the clothes and the cats on the clothes. And on the photo frame behind there are also photos of me holding a camera and a cat, using details to express my hobbies implicitly.
