Untitled is a 2010 graphite by Andrea Bowers, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This black-and-white drawing shows two people standing close together, their faces turned up. One holds a sign that says "Promises! Promises!" in uneven letters. Their mouths are open, like they’re shouting or singing. The pencil lines are simple but sharp, with no extra shading—just clear outlines and flat tones. The artist used a basic technique to create strong shapes and emotion. Next, check out cross-hatching to see how artists build depth with lines.
