Answer 1

I can’t see the image you mean. Could you upload it or describe it (shapes, colors, any visible signature)?

If you want to decide now, here are quick visual cues for each choice:

- (a) Ink splotches with drawings worked around them: look for blotchy, often symmetrical stains with clear lines/figures added to follow the blot shapes (like Rorschach-style compositions).
- (b) Painted upside down: look for consistent upside-down perspective (e.g., figures or landscape elements that look inverted) or brushwork that’s oriented opposite to the subject.
- (c) Doodled abstractions turned into figures: look for many loose, sketchy or childlike doodles and lines that were then interpreted/finished as faces, animals or objects — a playful, pareidolia-based method.
- (d) Closed-eyes painting: results tend to be random, smeared, very imprecise marks without clear intentional outlines or detail.

If you upload the image I’ll pick the correct answer and explain why.
