Untitled is a 2009 graphite by Joe Bradley, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This sketch looks like a fast, messy drawing. There’s a tangled mess of lines on top—like hair or wires—and a rough, blobby face below. The pencil marks are uneven, almost like scribbles. The top part has sharp, crisscrossed lines packed tightly together. It’s not a clear object, just a burst of energy. Try looking up cross-hatching next to see how artists build texture with lines.
