The differences between the two types of Uigwe can be clearly seen in the illustrations, especially “banchado” (班次圖), or illustrations of a royal procession. In an Uigwe for the king, banchado illustrations feature minute and highly elaborate hand-brushed depictions of the procession, including the marchers, the gathered crowd, the horses, and various other items. All of the people and horses on the left and right sides of the royal procession seem to be in motion, conveying a dynamic sensation. In some later volumes of Uigwe for the king, starting in the nineteenth century, the outlines of certain figures were repeatedly stamped and then hand-colored. But even in these cases, the lines and coloration are more delicate and the pigments are more vivid than the corresponding Uigwe for the archives.
