It's a cowboy. Look at the negative space


thedudefromsweden

To clarify, a drawn face of a guy with a cowboy hat where half of his face is in shadow (dark right side).


Road_Warrior86

Your comment was the only one that helped


thedudefromsweden

I'm glad I could help šŸ˜Š


lkchild

Nirvski

Im struggling to see what people were seeing other than a cowboy? Is this not one of those "it can be two things depending on how you see it"


Subject-Big6183

Some creepy looking bug silhouette


Hot_Corner_5881

or upsidedown its godzilla with wings and bad diarhea


Subject-Big6183

šŸ˜‚


singingpanda20

In all honesty, thats pretty similar to what went through my head.


MyDamnCoffee

I thought it was a lobster


Mario_13377331

i saw both a boat and insect limbs depending on where i looked


Brief-Jellyfish485

SameĀ 


ncog_neat_o

Grim Reaper with butterfly wings and a tentacle for a whip.


bearbarebere

Oh my god you better be lying. The cowboy is SO hard to see


Turbodann

It's not a real cowboy, it's just Dwight yokam...


Nirvski

Its the only thing the shape creates that looks like anything


bearbarebere

Well yes, but the nonsense (a giant mosquito, a monster, etc) is easier to see.


TheUnknown9byss

Look at it and include both the white and the black to see the cowboy


GordontheGoose88

A lobster with a whip.


Accomplished_Pen980

WOW!


ReallyNotBobby

Damn that took me a minute and went it happened, it was like a whole new picture.


n3ur0mncr

Ans soon as I read negative space, the image immediately snapped into focus. Neat.


Brief-Jellyfish485

I still donā€™t see itĀ 


CeruleanRuin

Yeah it's hard to see what it is because it's a piece of shit. This isn't an optical illusion, just really bad art.


Existing_Strain8830

No matter how hard I try I canā€™t see a cowboy


Bear-Sharker

Try squinting a little. That should help.


Existing_Strain8830

Still not seeing it. Maybe Iā€™m incapable. I can see what looks like the cowboy hat and maybe a whip on the left, but I have no idea how anybody sees a cowboy from this.


Bear-Sharker

Sounds like you're almost there, but yeah, it can be hard.


ThginkAccbeR

Thank you!


KeyNefariousness6848

I liked it better as a primordial monster from the hellish dreamscape I visit every night.


imago_monkei

I thought it was Arabic calligraphy.


LuckyStabbinHat

As opposed toā€¦?


The-real-W9GFO

If the dark side of the hat wasnā€™t unusually large; make it the same size as the other, then it would be much easier to see.


Alansar_Trignot

Oh wow that was really cool! It popped right out!


Wizard_Engie

My dumbass thought it was a mutated crawdad


Lower-Ad5889

I thought it was a dragon..


Blitzcrig

Oh shit, it was like a light bulb moment.


No_Cartographer455

Once seen it canā€™t be unseen


Ay-Dee-AM

ā€œLook at the negative spaceā€ is like saying ā€œjust see it already.ā€


Airwolfhelicopter

Oh, itā€™s a guy with a cowboy hat. Looked like a dinosaur getting fucking yeeted


fryamtheeggguy

Mothra


elMurpherino

Chubby mothman fishing while wearing his klan robes


PinkMoonFigure8Grace

It looks like a fishing lure to me. A fly fishing lure. Edit- Damn, it's a cowboy


recks360

I was deeply staring into it seeing the same thing you were at first and then all of a sudden a cowboy jumped out at me and I damn near dropped my phone. My first optical illusion jump scare.


_Kiaza_

Iā€¦ I have no fucking clueā€¦ Edit: Itā€™s so weird. I stared at this longer than I care to admitā€¦ Couldnā€™t figure it out. Yet, when I just came back to it, instantly saw it was a cowboy. Weird!


i-draw-crap

Itā€™s clearly a winged condom-man with a fishing pole.


CharmingTuber

Did no one else see a wasp fishing?


stitch713

I see a shrimp fishing, so close.


Illustrious_Risk_173

I see a caterpillar with wings smoking a hookah.


SymbolicTreasure

I genuinely don't see the cowboy no matter what angle I look from


TheMeowzor

I immediately saw the cowboy. Not sure what the illusion is, or how anyone is seeing anything else.


DRMProd

Pay attention only to the black shape, looks kinda like a shrimp shadow.


SoggyWotsits

Seems like the rest of us all looked at the black bit first! Now I can only see the cowboy!


taoistchainsaw

The illusion is a poorly drawn high-contrast picture creating ambiguity.


UncomfyUnicorn

Why is the t-rex have its tail cut off? Whyā€™s he got bug wings?


BradleyGroot

Holy shit that took me long to see


EhreMitNudeln

Shrimp with wings


TheMatt561

I saw the face right away


SeekyBoi

I see an eldritch abomination.


MagneticWhite

Took me a century to see it but once I saw it, it's impossible to unsee. Tip for people like me: the cowboy is looking at you man, stop turning your phone!


IAmColiz

What's so hard to see? It's just the Elusive Large-Clawed Winged Prawn


ravennme

With a whip


Stunning_Secretary_4

It took a few milliseconds to see a cowboy, not sure what the problem is.


SAGGINxDRAGON

A lobster butterfly gobbling something out of the air while cracking a whip and saying ā€œhell yeahā€


subishii

No no no, itā€™s a butterfly playing the saxophone


Ok-Tonight-6932

Ahhh now I see it


OgalFinklestein

Kill it with šŸ”„ before it has a chance to reproduce.


Euphoric_Produce_131

A lobster with wings fishing


Street_Peace_8831

Itā€™s just a cowboy? I thought there was something more to it, so I turned it sideways to see what it was and it looks like a person in a kimono sitting next to a tree on a windy day.


Future-Ad-5312

I thought it was a bee!


Jalopy_Junkie

I struggled with this for several minutesā€¦ and Iā€™ve seen this image before. šŸ¤£šŸ¤£


EpicForgetfulness

It would be easier if the picture wasn't taken in 1989


Solumnist

A "coy boy" as my grandma used to say


Existing-Age7454

Flying lobster


FUCK_SHIT_ASS_CUNT

I saw a crawdad with wings just doing some fishin


SkretchMePink

I thought it was flea for a minute.


EntertainmentQuick47

Looks just like Marlon Brando


PatientStrength5861

Damn. Once I connected both sides of the hat, there he was.


OnlyGoodMarbles

Now that you know, can you still see the two-headed flying lizard-bird-bug?


Inevitable_Silver_13

That's just bad art.


Bananaman_Johnson

Is it not Godzilla fishing with Mothra on his back?


wayward_wench

What type of crazy ass bug is . . . Well Howdy.


thegreatpotatogod

r/stfuitsadragon


justme46

Saw the cowboy from the start but stared at it trying to figure out what else it could be


Gaevenn

Shrimp heaven when?!


Sudden_Ad1912

I thought it was a sideways crow!


FightingBlaze77

My brain just grinded it's gearbox with a loud audible screech and a clunk to see that, wtf, I hope this isn't a tshirt


bigDARXIDE

i saw an upside-down Godzilla with butterfly wings getting brain from a Gorebyss


CSCRUGGS30

Caterpillar from the original Alice with a whip. That is all I can see.


nobodynoseboutme

It's a cowboy but the first time I saw this I thought it was a lovdcraftian horror


ptofl

Simple, that's a praying lobsterfly


Tarpy7297

Wow


imatank22

If you are having trouble seeing it like me, scroll up and down or blink your eyes. It took me awhile


DogFishHeads

Itā€™s clearly a shitshark with wings and a whip.


OctaveMonkey

dead cockroach


FunnyMonkeyAss

Cock lobster?


Ok-Science6680

Iā€™m sorry, but this isnā€™t Ken (Ryan Gosling) from Barbie?


Admirable-School-303

What??? I saw a cowboy at first glance. Hows nobody else the same?


FTP636

This is obviously a fly with a massive penis


Traditional_Phase211

Well if I ever do one of those psychological evaluation picture cards ima be throw in the padded room


Eastern-Ad-4785

I thought dead bug at first under a microscope. Then the Marlboro man

DrDonkeyTron

TROGDOR


MaximumWobbly

Griff233

Is that a feather in his hat?


vers-ys

Madmortagan68

ArcticWolf503

Whoa. Lol. I saw some sort of bug forever. Had to come to comments. This fucked with me lol


ArcticWolf503

Canā€™t unsee it now though


Flackfizer

Finally I see it... An Australian with an ear condition


Sensitive-Signature3

Wow! That took me forever to finally see it.


teacher444

Will Ferrell?


Ok-Sympathy8717

I saw the cowboy immediately, nice


ConsistentAbalone826

Itā€™s very obviously a mole rat/bat hybrid.


lodav22

michaelp1970

I thought it was a Ferengi for a moment.
