What do you see in this picture? Only 1% of people guesses it straight away, and they're extremely creative

in art •  8 years ago 

I love optical illusions. It's just crazy how our brain is involved in everything we see, and we never just look at something objectively.

So I stumbled across this weird drawing ... 

Apparently, only 1% of people can see what it is straight away.

Take a look: 

What do you think this could be?

I totally didn't know what this was at first either, but now that I know, I can't un-see it, lol. 

Take your time and look at it ...

What do you see in it?

Did you get it yet?

Do you need a hint?

Try covering the right, darker part of the painting with your hand. Maybe that will help you see it.

It's actually a cowboy with a cowbay hat!

Whaaaat?


This test was done in a research study, and only 1% of people could see the man's face and the hat right away.

If you're one of that 1%, you are exceptionally creative!!

If you first saw something like a bat, a bug/butterfly or a rat, you're maybe more of a formal thinker and process information in a different way to a highly creative person, who thinks more outside the box, and processes shapes and colors in a totally different way.

I pitty the folks who can't tell what these are

I couldn't tell straight away either, but now I can't un-see the man's face!

I TOTALLY didn't see the face before!
But you're right, now when I look at it and I know what it is, I can't un-see the face, it seems so obvious now

I know, right?
Do you remember the blue and gold dress? I was actually able to see both colors after a while, and switch it while looking at it, because my brain kinda realized there are 2 options ^^

I thought it kinda looked like a moth.. I definitely thought those 2 round bits looked like wings.
Optical illusions are awesome, I love when you see the solution after wards and you're like aaaaaaaahhhh

Yeah my first guess was something with wings as well
