Untitled is a 1976 graphite by Christopher Wilmarth, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This sketch shows a simple, ghostly figure standing sideways. The lines are faint, almost erased, with some darker smudges where the graphite piled up. The paper looks thin, like you could see light through it. The artist used quick, uneven strokes—some thick, some barely there—to suggest clothes and a body. It feels like a first try, not a finished drawing. Next, look up cross-hatching to see how artists build shadows with lines.
Christopher Wilmarth (1943 – November 19, 1987) was an American artist, known for producing sculptures using primarily glass and steel.
